Planetary Studies is a field of science that focuses on the exploration and understanding of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies within our solar system and beyond. This discipline encompasses various aspects, including the physical characteristics, atmospheres, and potential for life on these bodies, often involving the study of Mars, Jupiter, and exoplanets.
Researchers in Planetary Studies utilize data from space missions, telescopes, and laboratory experiments to gain insights into the formation and evolution of planets. This knowledge not only enhances our understanding of the universe but also informs the search for extraterrestrial life and the potential for human colonization of other worlds.
