Hello all, I was wondering whether applying the term Geomatics to mapping other planets is correct. Because as we go to the basic definition Geo - relates to earth.
So, shouldn't there be a separate term for a science related to mapping of planets. However, this term has already got a place and many have adopted this term it seems. For instance look at this USGS link http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Teams/Geomatics/ and lot of links in search engines point to this term.
