Astrosociology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Astrosociology, sociology of outer space, or sociology of the universe[1] is the study of the relationship between outer space, extraterrestrial places, and the wider universe and society. It is an interdisciplinary study between space-related sciences and sociology that seeks to understand the impact of human society outside our current planetary system.[2][3]
Not to be confused with sociology of space.
Astrosociology focuses on space exploration and related issues alongside the social and cultural dimensions of outer space from the viewpoint of human civilisation.[4][5]
