Description

Discover how looking outward helps us understand our home planet. Written by Paul Lowman, a NASA scientist with over 40 years of experience, this book examines the profound impact of space flight on the fields of geology and geophysics. With a foreword by Neil Armstrong, the text explains how exploring the cosmos has provided a much deeper perspective on Earth's own systems. Readers will learn about the direct results of Earth-orbital missions, including vital studies of our planet's gravity and magnetic fields. The book also explores how studying the geology of other planets led to a better understanding of the economic and biological importance of impact craters on Earth. This work provides a unique look at how space research changes our scientific view of the world beneath our feet.
