Mars has been the object of fascinations to scientists, astronomers and other curious observers over centuries. It was one of the most studied planets in the night sky because of its reddish colour and the features on its surface that could be seen. This is the case of one scientist who was brought to prominence in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through a radical notion that piqued the attention of the masses.
