ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word desolation is used in the context of the debate on extraterrestrial life’s existence in Astronism to denote “a cosmos without life except that on Earth”; such a situation being true holds significant consequences for Astronist philosophy, hence the prospect of desolation is the Astronist consideration of the implications of a desolate cosmos.
