"As the Planetary Spaces book series continues to grow, so too does its reach. This fantastic new title takes the reader beyond the planet, paying attention to the geographies of outer space and the ways human life is held in relation to worlds beyond Earth, but also of the inhuman natures outside of its boundaries, and our planetary control. Deeply conceptualised and richly informed with empirical research, this engaging book tells us about our entanglements with meteorites, shares an autoethnography of astrophotography in Dark Sky Parks, and explores the role of films in enabling our access to celestial worlds. Weaving together, as well as critiquing, some of the most important themes shaping current scholarship the Anthropocene and new materialism this book continues to launch geographical thinking and this book series in new directions. As Lowder notes, despite palpable progress, geographic engagements with outer space remain on the peripheries. This book does no small task in pulling it into the orbit of our attention."
