Space is predominantly empty and poses lethal threats to human life, such as stars, black holes, and planets with toxic atmospheres. The odds of survival are negligible.
Our cultural narratives often depict space as filled with hostile aliens. Even mundane UFO stories carry a sense of creepiness, influencing our perception of the universe.
The psychological phenomenon of pareidolia, our tendency to find patterns in randomness, leads to interpreting shapes in space as familiar or threatening entities, which shapes our fears.
Despite its beauty, space elicits fear and wonder in equal measure, leading to a complex relationship where awe and dread coexist in the vastness of the cosmos.
