The Overview Effect

The overview effect is a cognitive shift reported by some astronauts while viewing the Earth from space. Researchers have characterized the effect as "a state of awe with self-transcendent qualities, precipitated by a particularly striking visual stimulus." Those who experience the Overview Effect often describe a shift in perspective, seeing Earth not as divided nations and borders, but as a single, interconnected entity. They feel a profound sense of unity with all of humanity and a responsibility to protect and preserve our planet. Join us on October 19 at 6 pm as we welcome Space Perspective Co-Founder and CEO Jane
