Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 279.4 Hz, 86 cents flat of D4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, a cold, dry, rocky world about half as wide as the Earth. It looks red because its dust and rocks are full of iron that has rusted. It has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, and the biggest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons.

Tap it to raise a dust storm: billowing orange dust sweeps across, hides the dark markings, then settles and clears. Real dust storms on Mars can grow until they cover the whole planet for weeks.
