It is easy to be hoodwinked into thinking the world you see and experience is the most important part of reality. This week you are invited to leave the perspective of earth and zoom out into space to discover what can be seen from thousands of miles away. Joining Bridget Kendall for the journey are space archaeologist Sarah Parcak, artist Mishka Henner, and cosmologist Max Tegmark. (Photo: Planet Earth from space courtesy of Nasa/ Getty images)
