As our work on space continues our universe Our knowledge of its secrets expands even more. In this context, new James Webb telescopeNumerous researches and developments help us, especially the preparations for the Artemis mission and Mars studies.

Surprisingly, however, these studies of space are sometimes our mind can reveal its secrets. Now, as an example of these secrets, a situation experienced by astronauts going into space. Overview effect we will tell. This situation causes the human mind to change the way it perceives the Earth.

First of all, what is the effect of this overview:

Without the astronauts sent into space, it probably would be we won’t know this is seen in those who, after going into space, have had the opportunity to look back at our planet. Or just on the plane You can even experience this while driving.

If the people in question see the earth from the outside, humanity The troubles it provokes suddenly become meaningless and they want to protect that ball, the Earth, which stands before them with a clear mind.

When you look at the map, you see drawn edges, but when you look at the Earth from the outside, there are none of these:

From the Biden and Trump Conflicts in America in our country problems in Africa starved almost everything to the bloody histories was made by the hand of man, and is still being talked about. Talking about the Outline Effect of speech We’re not saying there’s a problem, of course. On the contrary, for one who is under this influence, the above things become meaningless.

immigration issues, economic crisesborder conflicts etc. situations are not heard from the outside (from space), the boundaries we draw cannot be seen from the outside, if half of the world’s population suddenly disappears, it is not noticed from the outside. These are humanity’s problems and mean little to astronauts who view the beautiful Earth from the outside. From there, everything is together. dependent and dependent.

If you look at it from the other side, what astronauts see doesn’t mean much to those interested in these problems on Earth:

Recognize and introduce the term during a normal flight (airplane) to Frank White For this reason, it becomes very difficult for astronauts to describe the situation they are experiencing. If you want to visualize it, think of it this way: even though the astronauts who go into space will return, they will return their families, homes, and other possessions for the sake of science. leave it here. Those who stay on the planet while awake are taking care of the problems of this place.

Astronauts looking at the planet from space, these people or problems. does not see. He sees only the uniquely moving earth with its harmonious colors. It’s the first time he sees space that way, and it’s the first time he’s in that non-gravity environment and feels light. Finally, how is the time we are used to for the first time? Nothing but He realizes that it is valid on Earth.

Let’s say the astronauts were fascinated by looking at Earth from space. What exactly will change?

a NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell He describes the situation as follows:You suddenly develop an awareness of the Earth, an intense dissatisfaction with its current state, and a desire to do something about it. International politics about the moon looks pretty small. Grab a politician by the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles look at you… you are coming”.

Those who experience this situation see the Earth as quite innocent and vulnerable and dedicate their lives to the good of it. they are getting ready We wouldn’t be exaggerating if we say that. Because the most important thing is not that they devote their lives to this, but that they have been given the ability to see the problems created by people from a much broader perspective. About an American astronaut, thinking he will now return home, not to his country, worldwide is thinking.

For better digestibility, we recommend checking out Carl Sagan’s light blue dot talk:

This can also affect large communities:

Humanity’s perception of Earth is not very noticeable, as it swings back and forth among its own problems. But if we experience the overview effect from here, our planet. numerous about our planet more sensitive sure to happen. In this context, virtual reality studies are carried out.

While the Outline Effect may seem like a sudden blow to us in this regard, we don’t have to wait for it. On our planet that existed long before us when our time is limited Let’s try to take good care of him.
