Astrogeology

Astrogeology is the study of the geology of celestial bodies, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. It combines principles of geology with knowledge from planetary science and astronomy to understand the physical features, history, and processes of these bodies. By examining their surface materials, structures, and geological activities, astrogeologists uncover information about the formation and evolution of the solar system and beyond. This field helps us learn about past environments, the potential for life, and the dynamics of planetary systems.
