Spacecraft data and astronomical observations of the planetary bodies of the solar system in recent years are reviewed for fundamental studies that can be performed of existing solar system physical phenomena. The discovery of rings around all the outer giant planets, coupled with temperature and matter density readings provided by the Pioneer II probe, have confirmed an eruptive evolution for most planetary bodies. Further examinations of the data from planetary probes will permit calculations of the short and long term periods and hyperbolic orbits of the planets as well as identifying the eras of cataclysms. Glacial studies on earth will permit insight into the processes which have nearly terminated rotation on Venus and also to determine if collisions with larger asteroids are connected with cataclysmic events on the planets. Continuing studies of Mars are recommended for defining any connections between volcanos and the appearance of Martian dust storms. Finally, an investigation of the stability of asteroid orbits is indicated to characterize the age of the asteroids and the possibility that any of them are of interstellar origin.
