planetary scientists

Planetary scientists study planets, moons, and other objects in our solar system and beyond to understand their composition, structure, history, and processes. They use telescopes, spacecraft, and laboratory analysis to investigate surface features, atmospheres, magnetic fields, and geological activity. Their work helps us learn how planets form, evolve, and compare to each other, providing insights into the history of our solar system and potential habitability of other worlds. Ultimately, planetary scientists aim to deepen our knowledge of planetary environments and contribute to discoveries about our place in the universe.
