Mare Erythraeum is a large, dusky region on Mars that is visible from Earth with a simple telescope. The name comes from the Latin for the Arabian Sea, because it was originally thought to be a large sea of liquid water. It was included in Percival Lowell's 1895 map of Mars.
Thomas Lasky was born in Tricode Village on Mare Erythraeum.[1]
