Part of Science & Signs
Our Place in the Cosmos
Comets crossing the night sky, the pull of gravity, activity on the Sun and the search for life beyond Earth all invite questions about our place in the universe. Here we explore what observations reveal, what remains uncertain and how people have interpreted the heavens.
From Wonder to Understanding
Our coverage will examine comets and asteroids, the Moon and tides, solar flares and space weather, distant planets and the search for extraterrestrial life. Scientific evidence, historical traditions and religious interpretations will be clearly distinguished.
