astronomicalisation

Astronomicalisation is a term used to describe the process by which celestial bodies, or aspects of them, are incorporated into human culture, art, science, and daily life. It refers to the way humans observe, interpret, and utilize astronomical phenomena and objects. This can range from ancient civilizations using celestial alignments for calendar systems and religious practices to modern society relying on GPS technology, which is fundamentally dependent on precise astronomical calculations and satellite orbits.

The concept encompasses the scientific study of the cosmos, leading to a deeper understanding of our place in the universe, and also the cultural impact of astronomy. This includes the inspiration drawn by artists, writers, and musicians from stars, planets, and cosmic events. Furthermore, astronomicalisation can involve the practical application of astronomical knowledge, such as navigation by the stars, timekeeping, and even the development of new technologies driven by the demands of space exploration and observation. It highlights the continuous and evolving relationship between humanity and the universe above us, shaping our worldview and technological advancements.
