HIST 209 - Themes in World History: Planets and Worlds, Earth and Home

(3.00)
This course uses the history of cosmology to explore how various cultures have understood their relationship to earth and sky through time. All cultures identified their home in relation to the sky, but articulated this in different and evolving cultural ways. First considered a unique home, earth became in the modern era one planet among many. Once considered completely unapproachable and alien entities, planets within and outside our own system became worlds like the earth.
