Planetary cartography, or cartography of extraterrestrial objects (CEO), is the cartography of solid objects outside of the Earth. Planetary maps can show any spatially mapped characteristic (such as topography, geology, and geophysical properties) for extraterrestrial surfaces.[1] Some well-known examples of these maps have been produced by the USGS, such as the latest Geologic Map of Mars,[2] but many others are published in specialized scientific journals.[3]
