Much of what we k**w about Mars we have learned from looking at its complicated, sometimes confusing surface features
In 1813, astro**mer Ho**re Flaugergues (http://mars.nasa.gov/allaboutmars/mystique/history/1800/) suggested that Mars was warmer than Earth because he observed the red planet’s polar ice caps melting in the summer months.*
Later that century, some scientists using Earth-based telescopes championed the idea that darkly colored channels (https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/GeolColBk/Schiap-Tharsis.HTM) on Mars were canals potentially built by intelligent life

Today, we k**w that those “canals” are natural features crafted by geology on Mars, and the red planet is both far colder and far drier than Earth. Such insights have come from Earth-bound experiments and observations from spacecraft on Mars Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/05/03/boiling-water-on-mars/)
