Jonathan I. Lunine

Jonathan I. Lunine is a prominent planetary scientist known for his research on the origins of planets, moons, and potential life beyond Earth. He studies the atmospheres and surfaces of celestial bodies, particularly in our solar system, like Saturn’s moon Titan and the icy bodies of the outer planets. Lunine combines astronomy, geology, and chemistry to understand how planets form and evolve, and to explore conditions that might support life elsewhere in the universe. His work contributes to our knowledge of planetary systems and fuels the ongoing quest to find extraterrestrial life.
