  3. High-resolution photos are starting to come back to Earth from the #Orion space capsule as the #Artemis 2 crew zooms toward the #moon. This full-disk view of our planet could well rekindle the #OverviewEffect made famous during the Apollo era's glory days. cosmiclog.com/2026/04/03/moon- #Space #NASA #Artemis2

  5. The Golden Record was intentionally hopeful—focused on the best of humanity.

    It can evoke the Overview Effect: feeling both small and part of something vast.

  9. After 178 days in space, astronaut Ron Garan says humanity is living a “BIG LIE” — we put the economy above the very systems that sustain life. His call: planet first, then society, then economy. #overvieweffect #climate #sustainability

    ChatGPT, please rephrase this quote in my style, but make me sound solemn, honest, and resembling a decent human being:

    »The thing that really surprised me was that it projected an air of fragility. And why, I don’t know. I don’t know to this day. I had a feeling it’s tiny, it’s shiny, it’s beautiful, it’s home, and it’s fragile.«
    (Michael Collins, Apollo 11)

  11. XKCD makes an interesting perspective for that joke. Our planet, acting as a big spacecraft with all of us as passengers, doesn't actually require downtime for maintenance. But we have to think big to maintain it in sustainable condition for its future occupants. #OverviewEffect

  12. Stonehenge under gales & a lowering sky today, sheep grazing on it. Prehistory is more important than ever at times when the roar & clamour of now seems to drown us. To stand with the megaliths and barrows, their cultural urgency in Neolithic Britain dissolved into monumental uncertainty, relic & grazing status, is to understand the absurd futility of lines on maps.

  13. The Ballad of the #OverviewEffect: youtube.com/watch?v=t0NmI0m5v1 - in preparation for #EarthDay, view our beautiful planet from above, with commentary from NASA #astronauts.

  14. “Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the #Galaxy 🌌 lies a small unregarded yellow sun ☀️,” writes #DouglasAdams in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. “Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended 🐒 life forms are so amazingly #primitive that they still think #digital watches ⌚ are a pretty neat idea.” bigthink.com/the-future/space-

  15. In the future, space exploration could radically alter our spiritual beliefs, with people living on the Moon, Mars and beyond. What will they think of Earth? A place of origin, a distant light in the night sky, or something else entirely?bigthink.com/the-future/space-

  16. We need an “Orbital Perspective” to solve Earth’s problems

    Many astronauts have reported that when seeing Earth from space, a profound sense of awe and transcendence overtook them. They felt their personal boundaries break down and a swelling sense of interconnectedness to their home and the people living there. This perceptive change is popularly known as the “overview effect.”

    We are not from Earth, but of Earth.

  17. Vous croyez que quand Richard Branson et Jeff Bezos ressentiront l'extase décrite par les astronautes lorsqu'ils voient pour la première fois la planète terre, belle ,magnifique, grouillante de vie mais pourtant unique et si fragile, perdue dans le noir infini, froid et stérile de l'espace seront si émus qu'ils prendront à leur tour conscience de sa fragilité et décideront de mettre tout en œuvre pour la protéger en dévouant une grosse part de leur fortune à l'écologie ?

    Arguably his best work was when he collaborated with Vsauce back in 2014.

    I HIGHLY recommend this video.

    I've watched it probably
    about a dozen times and
    it still makes me feel all
    weird and space-y 🌍♥️
