The planet is Mars. Through early telescopes, seasonal markings appeared that Italian astronomers originally described as "canali" (channels), which was rapidly assumed to mean actual "canals" of a civilization. The lines were likely an optical illusion, as none were seen by the Mariner 4 flyby in 1965. The volcano Olympus Mons is the largest known volcano in the solar system, but has been inactive for many thousands of years.
