Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'planetary science'

Planetary science is the interdisciplinary study of planets, moons, and planetary systems, combining elements of astronomy, geology, atmospheric science, and chemistry. It investigates the formation, evolution, and physical characteristics of celestial bodies, including their internal structures, surface features, atmospheres, and magnetic fields. In alternate history scenarios, different trajectories of planetary science development could dramatically alter space exploration timelines, technological capabilities, and humanity's understanding of our solar system and beyond.

What If The Voyager Probes Never Launched?

Exploring the alternate timeline where NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 missions never ventured into the outer solar system, significantly altering our understanding of planetary science and humanity's reach into deep space.
