Abstract
High-energy muons in cosmic rays can be used as a radiographic probe to explore the internal structure of gigantic objects. This new subterranean imaging technique called muography can serve as a new and alternative high-resolution imaging technique, providing a fresh approach to Earth studies. This brief review focuses on recent developments of muography and their results are summarized here, and anticipated future observation prospects are also discussed.
