planetary science research institutes

Planetary science research institutes are specialized organizations that study planets, moons, and other objects in our solar system and beyond. They use telescopes, spacecraft data, and computer models to understand planetary formation, composition, atmospheres, and geology. These institutes often collaborate with space agencies, universities, and international partners to advance knowledge about the origins and evolution of planetary bodies. Their work helps us explore questions about potential habitability, climate, and the history of our solar system, contributing to scientific discovery and technological innovation in space exploration.
