We've known for a while that it's pretty red, but we didn't really expect it to have such varied terrain.

[quote]The five Sullivan brothers were World War II sailors who, serving together on the USS Juneau (CL-52), were all killed in action on its sinking around November 13, 1942. Security required that the Navy not reveal the loss of Juneau or the other ships so as not to provide information to the enemy. Letters from the Sullivan sons stopped arriving at the home and the parents grew worried.
The brothers' parents learned of their deaths on January 12, 1943. That morning, the boys' father, Thomas, was preparing for work when three men in uniform – a lieutenant commander, a doctor and a chief petty officer – approached his door. "I have some news for you about your boys," the naval officer said. "Which one?" asked Thomas. "I'm sorry," the officer replied. "All five."[/quote]
Should note that the Sullivan brothers are the reason for the military's Sole Survivor policy.
And that they had several ships named after them:

The thing is, if aliens which were more influenced by their oceans' (if they have any) deep-sea biology ever encounter us, they'll be equally repulsed by us with our weird, dry, flimsy, tiny-eyed bodies as we will be by theirs. Assuming that evolution on different planets creates roughly similar creatures.

It's scientific name is Vampyroteuthis infernalis which literally translates to "[I]vampire squid from Hell[/I]". This scary motherfucker is capable of bioluminescence, but in a very odd way. It "flashes" which disorients and potentially blinds the prey temporarily, giving it a chance to attack. When it feels threatened, it inverts its "umbrella" over its body presenting its spines (which are actually soft and harmless) and inflates itself to intimidate or confuse the predator. This is called the "pumpkin" posture.[/quote]
