Astrogeology
Astrogeology encompasses the study of the geological features and processes on celestial bodies, combining elements of planetary science, geology, and astronomy. It delves into phenomena such as impact cratering, tectonic activity, volcanism, and weather patterns on planets, moons, asteroids, and comets to gain a deeper understanding of their composition, evolution, and potential for sustaining life. Astrogeologists explore the geological history of these bodies by interpreting visual data from telescopes, spacecraft imagery, and samples collected during missions like Apollo and Mars rovers, ultimately contributing to our knowledge of the universe's rich tapestry of worlds.
