Did you know that Mars has its own day? Well folks, good news it does. Over 5,000 years ago ancient Babylonians created the first week and named the days of the week after the seven moving bodies in the sky: the sun, the moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. Mars day was Tuesday and it was believed that the planet influenced peoples lives every Tuesday. Mars is named after the Roman God of war because it's red color is supposed to symbolize aggression. Although Tuesday sounds nothing like Mars it is closer than you may think,"Tews" was the English name for the god of war, and it is from this that we get Tuesday. So this Tuesday lets all tip our glasses to Mars, cheers.
