THE HUMAN COSMOS
The story of humanity has always encompassed far more than our own planet. Our intimate relationship with the stars has shaped who we are – our religious beliefs, power structures, scientific advances and even our biology. But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us. And that disconnect comes at a cost.
