Anthropocentrism kind of annoys me, because one can just look up and see how vast and timeless is the universe compared to us, and there’s no “space” (pun intended) for our fleeting hominid grandeur.

Circles of Control. There's nothing you can do to affect the constellations and there's nothing they can do to affect you, apart from twinkle from far away. Any philosophical framework that places them above humanity in importance may be accurate, but it won't be useful.
