noun Astrosoteriology
the Astronist doctrine holding that humanity presently resides at a crossroads between transcension and degradation, the latter of which involves the decline and eventual extinction of the human species if humanity remains confined in the closed system of Earth; Astronism presents the process of transcension as a kind of salvation by way of the astronomical world whose goal it is to ensure that humanity avoids such a fate.
