Rozlunia is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury. The story describes it as a terraformed world, initially intended to be a new home for humanity. However, the colonization effort encounters significant challenges and unforeseen consequences. Rozlunia is depicted as a place of stark beauty and also one of profound isolation.

The narrative surrounding Rozlunia focuses on the psychological toll of deep space travel and the struggle to establish a new civilization. Early settlers arrive with hopes of a fresh start, but the alien environment and the vast distances separating them from Earth begin to affect their minds. The planet itself is described with vivid imagery, emphasizing its otherworldly nature and its impact on the human psyche.

Bradbury uses Rozlunia as a backdrop to explore themes of human ambition, the fragility of civilization, and the complex relationship between humanity and the unknown.
