What is the relationship between life and the Sun? “We are all solar creatures – us and all the life that exists on this planet.” - Marcelo Gleiser In the fourth episode of the Sol cycle, Marcelo Gleiser talks about the formation of the Sun and its intertwining with the history of our system, of life on Earth and of the matter that makes up all forms of life on the planet - which breathe, live and they transform together, always crossed by the sunlight. The SOL cycle is made up of 17 narratives published every Wednesday on our YouTube channel, in the languages Hatxã Kuï, Tukano, Nheengatu, Maxakali, Guarani or Portuguese. Presenting different views on the Sun, the cycle interweaves indigenous memories and knowledge with perspectives from astronomy, philosophy, astrology, literature and other areas of knowledge. On Thursdays, we also publish a notebook related to each episode on our website: www.selvagemciclo.com.br/cadernos Follow our networks and our channel to find out about the cycle's releases! MARCELO GLEISER is a scientist, researcher and professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College, author of 18 books and more than 100 articles published in outlets such as the New York Times. In addition to receiving the Jabuti for two of his books, Marcelo was the first Latin American to win the Templeton Prize, considered the Nobel Prize for spirituality. ________________________ All Selvagem activities and materials are shared free of charge.
