GEOINFORMATICS: HISTORY OF FORMATION, SUBJECT OF RESEARCH, METHOD, PROBLEMS (TODAY’S POINT OF VIEW). PART XXXII

Kulinkovich A.E., Yakymchuk M.A.

This is the thirty second paper in a series of publications dedicated to fundamental problems of geoinformatics, namely the subject of scientific research, the main aims of the new science and methods of solving its specific tasks. In the present article a new scientific discipline, galactic planetology, is considered. It is shown that the history of the Moon and the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Earth, Mars) is tightly correlated with the history and the structure of the Galaxy. So the main events of the planetary history are determined by the galactic calendar proposed by the authors. A new, galactic, interpretation of the results of the ancient magnetic field investigation is made. These results were obtained by English selenologists (A. Stepherson, D.W. Collinson, S.K. Runcorn) who analyzed the lunar rocks collected by the Apollo mission. The new interpretation of the Apollo data made in this paper permits to get important information about the chronometricity of the galactic cycles.
