Description
Formed over 4.5 billion years ago, Earth shares its origins with planets, moons, asteroids, and comets shaped by similar—and sometimes very different—histories. By studying Earth systems alongside our Solar System neighbors, we gain insights into both our planet’s past and the thousands of exoplanets discovered beyond. This class explores how scientists study planetary bodies, the geologic processes that shape them, and what these discoveries mean for the search for life. No prior geology background required—just curiosity about planetary science.
