Sometimes it takes courage to explore the Universe like a Cosmic Cub, and Marvel is the most courageous of all! This red-suited bear loves challenges and doesn’t mind getting into trouble. It’s no surprise that his favorite planet is Mars, “the red planet,” because it’s a world of giant canyons, super-fast dust storms, and the highest volcanoes anywhere!

​

Marvel also loves Mars because it’s the planet that’s most like Earth. It has four seasons, icy poles, clouds of ice crystals and even a colored sky—although instead of blue, the skies of Mars may be tan, pink, or even violet! What a challenging world to understand, and what a challenging Cosmic Cub!
