Overview

What it does

Seeing the Earth from a great distance has been proven to stimulate awe, increase desire to collaborate, and foster long-term thinking. We aim to inspire these feelings — the Overview Effect — through our imagery, products, and collaborations.

Overview uses satellite and aerial imagery to demonstrate how human activity and natural forces shape our Earth. Follow Daily Overview to see our imagery.
