Solar System Detective

摘要

Ever day i explore images sent back to Earth from spacecraft orbiting the moon and other planets. In pictures sent from hundreds of thousands- sometimes millions-of miles away, I see landscape features the size of a kitchen table. Often I see things that no one else has. I like to think of my research as a form of detective work. As a planetary geologist in the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, I search for clues to what happened on these faraway worlds.
