Planet Overview Effect
On the 40th anniversary of the famous ‘Blue Marble’ photograph taken of Earth from space, Planetary Collective presents a short film documenting astronauts’ life-changing stories of seeing the Earth from the outside – a perspective-altering experience often described as the Overview Effect.
The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts’ perspective of the planet and mankind’s place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
‘Overview’ is a short film that explores this phenomenon through interviews with five astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect. The film also features insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for society, and our relationship to the environment.

É por Ti que Vivo
Amo o teu túmido candor de astro
a tua pura integridade delicada
a tua permanente adolescência de segredo
a tua fragilidade acesa sempre altiva
Por ti eu sou a leve segurança
de um peito que pulsa e canta a sua chama
que se levanta e inclina ao teu hálito de pássaro
ou à chuva das tuas pétalas de prata
António Ramos Rosa
