New Concept: Surface ices #308

Closed stlibrary8 closed 4 years ago

stlibrary8 commented 4 years ago

Entering this as its own ticket as I expect there may be some back and forth.

STScI Planetary researchers proposed new term to summarize concept of: "Outer solar system satellites and minor bodies covered with ices that can be studied via spectroscopy."

Hierarchy proposed is as follows: Solar systems astronomy ...Planetary science ......Planetary structure .........Planetary surfaces (proposed new term, ticket #303) ............Surface ices (or "Surface ice" if plural seems odd; literature is split between singular and plural forms depending on context)

In general the concept looks fine, will be included. Will probably go with the plural "ices" since pluralizing is preferred in general, unless a concept should specifically be singular.
