How can it be “geology” when that term is specific to planet Earth?

Because "astrology" is already taken.

That’s OK since “aster” is Greek for “star”. “Edaphology” (study of soil) is also taken; another possibility is “chomology”, but that might be confused with “cohomology” (unless you spell the latter “co-homology”).
