1. 1. The Martians

   

   The Martians reconstructs the late 19th–early 20th-century frenzy over life on Mars, centered on astronomer Percival Lowell’s claims that telescopic images revealed canals and signs of civilization. Drawing on clippings, letters, and photographs, it follows the scientific debates, public excitement (including reported radio signals), and the cultural ripple effects that helped launch science fiction and a lasting fascination with life beyond Earth.
