Planetary Observation

Planetary Observation refers to the scientific study and monitoring of celestial bodies within our solar system, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. This discipline encompasses various methods and technologies used to gather data about the properties, atmospheres, surfaces, and movements of these celestial objects. Observations can be conducted using ground-based telescopes, space telescopes, satellites, and spacecraft equipped with instruments designed for imaging and analyzing planetary features.The goal of planetary observation is to enhance our understanding of the formation and evolution of planets, the potential for life beyond Earth, and the physical and chemical processes occurring in different planetary environments. Findings from planetary observations contribute to fields such as astronomy, planetary science, and astrobiology, revealing insights about the history of our solar system and informing future exploration missions.
