Abstract

The concept of "Cosmography" is in disuse since the 80s of the twentieth century, but the astronomical themes previously discussed in the school subjects of Geography and Cosmography remain in current textbooks. The use of term "Cosmography" was rescued in this research and the study of its resignification permited the appearance of the term Geographic Cosmography. The Geographic Cosmography is a field of studies of the Geography, whose set of knowledge and skills is predominantly school. It studies the interface between terrestrial and celestial knowledge and them assigns geographic significance. It examines human and natural relationships with Sidereal Space and its consequences for society and nature.
