Sarnanev

Sarnanev is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury. It is one of the many Mars-like worlds visited by human colonists from Earth. The planet is described as having a rust-colored surface and a thin atmosphere, typical of many celestial bodies in Bradbury's Martian tales. Sarnanev plays a role in the narrative as a destination for some of the arriving humans seeking a new home away from a dying Earth. The interactions and experiences of the colonists on Sarnanev are central to Bradbury's exploration of themes such as human ambition, displacement, and the often-unforeseen consequences of colonization. The planet itself serves as a backdrop for the human drama and the philosophical questions Bradbury poses about humanity's place in the cosmos. Its depiction contributes to the broader tapestry of Bradbury's vision of Mars, which is less about scientific accuracy and more about a poetic and allegorical examination of the human condition. The name "Sarnanev" itself evokes a sense of the alien and the unknown, fitting for a world encountered by explorers in a distant star system.
