Red Planet Day is celebrated on November 28 each year to commemorate the launch of the Spacecraft Mariner 4 on November 28, 1964. Mariner 4 was the first spacecraft to successfully fly by Mars on July 14, 1965, and it returned the first close-up photos of the red planet.

Red Planet Day is a relatively new holiday, but it is gaining popularity as space exploration becomes more and more a reality. People celebrate Red Planet Day in a variety of ways, including:

  • Learning more about Mars. Red Planet Day is a great time to learn more about the history of Mars exploration, the planet's geology and climate, and the possibility of life on Mars. There are many online and in-person resources available to help people learn more about Mars, such as websites, articles, books, and museum exhibits.
