Very little survives from that far in the past; on such a time scale, planetary geology or erosion will generally destroy any evidence of technology.

In a similar way, evidence about the history of the universe is drawn from astronomy, astrophysics, planetary geology, and physics.

Earth analogue studies are particularly common in planetary geology, geomorphology, and also in atmospheric science.

The term was adopted for planetary geology when high resolution pictures of Europa revealed unusual new surface features.

In planetary geology it is used to refer to any long marking, dark or bright, on a planet or moon's surface.

In astrogeology, an arachnoid is a large structure of unknown origin, and they have been found only on the surface of the planet Venus.

It is a descriptor term used in astrogeology for mountainous features in the Solar System.

Gene Shoemaker founded the Astrogeology Research Program August 25, 1960.

Since 1962, the Astrogeology Research Program has been involved in global, lunar and planetary exploration and mapping.

Arachnoid (astrogeology)

Sulcus (plural : sulci) is, in astrogeology, a long parallel groove on a planet or a moon.

In astrogeology, these compounds, in their solid state, often comprise large proportions of the crusts of moons and dwarf planets.

The Flagstaff Science Center is home to USGS astrogeology research.

It employs an interdisciplinary approach which includes astrobiology, astrophysics, astronomy, planetary science (planetology), geochemistry, astrochemistry and astrogeology.

The USGS Astrogeology Science Center assists in current and future space missions. . .

Astrogeology Astrogeology, the science that applies the principles of geology to the study of solid bodies of the solar system other than the earth.

This led to the establishment of the field of planetary geology, sometimes known as astrogeology, in which geologic principles are applied to other bodies of the solar system.

Historic, recent, ongoing, and upcoming space missions involving the USGS Astrogeology Research Program include:

USGS Branch of Astrogeology, Flagstaff, Arizona.

Development was led by Ken Herkenhoff's team at the USGS Astrogeology Research Program.

Jack Schmitt joined the Astrogeology team as a geologist at the Flagstaff Science Center in 1964, having recently earned a doctorate degree from Harvard University.

Formerly known as the Museum of Astrogeology, the Visitor Center includes a movie theater, a gift shop, and observation areas with views inside the rim of the crater.

In astrogeology, chaos terrain (or chaotic terrain) is a planetary surface area where features such as ridges, cracks, and plains appear jumbled and enmeshed with one another.

Reoh gave up trying to explain exogeology to the Rex.

Exogeology deals with planetary mountains, which in that branch of science are usually called montes (singular-mons).

She had specifically requested the assignment, since the planet was already becoming known in exogeology as a cutting-edge assignment.

We can study tectonic plate movements and all the aspects of exogeology in short periods of time . . . as well as paleomagnetism.

For my part, there had never been any doubt in my mind that I wanted a career in exogeology, and I saw the assignment as a not-to-be-missed opportunity for field experience as I learned.

Planetary geology, alternatively known as astrogeology or exogeology, is a planetary science discipline concerned with the geology of the celestial bodies such as the planets and their moons, asteroids, comets, and meteorites.
