Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a night on Mars? This excerpt from the new book "Daydreaming in the Solar System" by John E. Moores and Jesse Rogerson, takes a poetic look at what it might be like to explore the Red Planet if you were faced with the daunting prospect of climbing the biggest canyon in our solar system.

The book itself features beautiful illustrations by Michelle D. Parsons, and covers everything, from golfing on the moon to visiting Pluto, and is filled with fascinating facts about our small portion of the Milky Way.
