Man Enters the Cosmos is a cast bronze sculpture by Henry Moore located on the Lake Michigan lakefront outside the Adler Planetarium in the Museum Campus area of downtown Chicago, Illinois.
The sculpture is a functional bowstring equatorial sundial created in 1980 measuring approximately 13 feet (4.0 m).[2][3] The sundial was formerly located slightly further south at the steps of the main entry plaza to the Planetarium,[4][5] but it now sits directly on the lakefront. The work is a later copy of a composition first created in the 1960s for the offices of The Times newspaper at Printing House Square in London, and according to the Henry Moore Foundation is titled Sundial 1965–66.[6]
