All bodies on earth—human and nonhuman—are inextricably bonded to one celestial body: earth. If we take a perspective from outer space and look back to earth, in what way can we cultivate new, ecological realities and earth-space futures?
The way we imagine the Earth has a substantial impact on the environment. The European research project More-than-Planet uses earth observations, satellite data, art, culture, and philosophy to explore how we can arrive at new knowledge and stories about how we see our planet. Can we create a story that includes more-than-human life and climate justice? We need to because more than 75 percent of Earth's surface is under human pressure.
