Planetary Observation refers to the systematic study and monitoring of planets, both within our Solar System and in other star systems (exoplanets). This practice involves the use of various techniques and instruments, including telescopes, satellites, and space probes, to collect data about planetary surfaces, atmospheres, and other characteristics. The primary goal of planetary observation is to understand the formation, evolution, and potential habitability of planets. It includes analyses of planetary geology, climate, and atmospheres, as well as the search for signs of life. This field combines aspects of astronomy, planetary science, and astrophysics to enhance our knowledge of celestial bodies and their processes.
