Abstract

Crystallography was born in the 17th century as a cross-disciplinary science of mineralogy and mathematics. However, later it became closer to physics, chemistry, biology, and even medicine. The article considers on various precise examples the important role of modern crystallographic methods and results in the study of the composition and structure of the Earth and other planets
