  • The Overview Effect with Luke Jerram and Tim Peake

    The Overview Effect with Luke Jerram and Tim Peake
    Sep 3 2025
    On 20th July 1969 the world watched as humans first set foot on the Moon. More than half a century on, the view of Earth from space has given rise to a profound idea: the Overview Effect — the shift in perspective that astronauts experience when they see our planet from orbit.
    From 250 miles above, the Earth appears as a fragile, glowing sphere suspended in the darkness of space. Borders vanish, noise falls silent, and what remains is a single, shared home.

    But what happens when astronauts return to Earth and can never see the world in quite the same way again?

    Join Ranger Ajay Tegala as he explores the Overview Effect with artist Luke Jerram and astronaut Tim Peake, and discover how this cosmic perspective might change the way we care for the places closest to us.
