Daily Overview is a new project that posts one new satellite photograph every day from places around the world that have been touched by human activity. The project was inspired by and based on the idea known as the Overview Effect.
The Overview Effect is the overwhelming and groundbreaking change in attitude and perspective that astronauts experience when they get to see the planet Earth in its entirety, making them appreciate our home planet on a larger scale.The people behind the project want to help inspire appreciation of our planet and the beauty of our everyday environment.
They write: “The mesmerizing flatness seen from this vantage point, the surprising comfort of systematic organization on a massive scale, or the vibrant colors that we capture will hopefully turn your head. However, once we have that attention, we hope you will go beyond the aesthetics, contemplate just exactly what it is that you’re seeing, and consider what that means for our planet.”
