Our Sun In Time explores humanity’s evolving relationship with the Sun. As governments and private enterprises turn their attention to stellar resources, the book examines the growing tension between scientific openness and corporate greed. With NASA and EUSA’s solar missions providing an unprecedented wealth of open-access data, the Sun remains a icon of shared knowledge. Yet, as billionaires seek to privatize space, the implications for global equity and the future of information ownership become increasingly urgent.
Blending astronomy, politics, and philosophy, Our Sun In Time argues for a new perspective on our place in the cosmos. The Sun’s immense power serves as a humbling reminder of our fleeting existence and the importance of collective stewardship. In an age of deepening inequality and technological expansion, this book makes the case for commonism—the belief in shared resources, intellectual collaboration, and a future unshaped by corporate monopoly. Featuring a stunning image captured on the summer solstice of 2023, Our Sun In Time invites readers to reflect on what lies beyond Earth and who will control our access to the stars.
