About EarthXLab

EarthXLab teaches evidence-based planetary science through guided, interactive missions. Learners study satellite imagery, complete hands-on observations, answer assessment questions, and receive a completion certificate.

An account keeps mission progress connected to the learner. Google Sign-In is used only for basic account authentication; EarthXLab does not request access to Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, contacts, or other Google services.
