PDF-(BOOK)-The Human Cosmos: A Secret History of the Stars

An historically unprecedented disconnect between humanity and the heavens has opened Jo Marchants book can begin to heal it For at least 20000 years we have led not just an earthly existence but a cosmic one Celestial cycles drove every aspect of our daily lives Our innate relationship with the stars shaped who we areour art religious beliefs social status scientific advances and even our biology But over the last few centuries we have separated ourselves from the universe that surrounds us Its a disconnect with a dire costOur relationship to the stars and planets has moved from one of awe wonder and superstition to one where technology is kingthe cosmos is now explored through data on our screens not by the naked eye observing the natural world Indeed in most countries modern light pollution obscures much of the night sky from view Jo Marchants spellbinding parade of the ways different cultures celebrated the majesty and mysteries of the night sky is a journey to the most awe inspiring view you can ever seelooking up on a clear dark night That experience and the thoughts it has engendered have radically shaped human civilization across millennia The cosmos is the source of our greatest creativity in art in science in lifeTo show us how Jo Marchant takes us to the Hall of the Bulls in the caves at Lascaux in France and to the summer solstice at a 5000yearold tomb at New Grange in England We discover Chumash cosmology and visit medieval monks grappling with the nature of time and Tahitian sailors navigating by the stars We discover how light reveals the chemical composition of the sun and we are with Einstein as he works out that space and time are one and the same A fourbillionyearold meteor inspires a search for extraterrestrial life The cosmically liberating summary revelation is that stargazing made us human. : .
