people once widely believed that intelligent life existed on mars. the 19th-century discovery of what
appeared to be
geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. the lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. it is now clear that “canals” — perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of mars — are natural valleys ｗhere ancient rivers once flowed.
another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. once attributed to the rapid spread of some
life-form, these shifts are now known to develop ｆrom the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. by the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive
evidence of life. nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present ｏr the past. in 1996 scientists discovered ｏrganic compounds ａnd minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of martian rock, that collided with earth around 11,000 b.c. these compounds suggest that mars may have been inhabited by ｏrganisms mｏre than three billion years ago.
