That something so minuscule might be defending us and preserving life on our planet\u00a0seems\u00a0inconceivable.<\/p>\n<p>The eight astronauts who were the first to orbit the moon in 1968 provided a detailed account of this phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>Frank Borman, the mission commander, referred to the complete view of the Earth and its atmosphere as\u00a0<strong>\u201cwhat God must see.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Many people say that seeing the nightside of Earth is an amazing experience. The dazzling city lights are visible even from orbit, which is evidence of the planet\u2019s level of intellect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe whole scene looks somehow biological. The city has glowing tentacles reaching out in all directions to other radiant cities. The scene looks like a microscopic photograph of a nerve cell. Every city is like a giant nerve cell in the brain of the superorganism called humanity,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0astronaut Ron Garan described Shanghai at nighttime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhen we originally went to the moon, our total focus was on the moon. We weren\u2019t thinking about looking back at the Earth.

Additionally, it frequently awakens in them a new awareness of the vulnerability of our world and our urgent need to preserve it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI saw an iridescent biosphere teeming with life,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Garan said of looking at the Earth from space.\u00a0<strong>\u201cI didn\u2019t see the economy. But since our human-made systems treat everything, including the very life-support systems of our planet, as the wholly owned subsidiary of the global economy, it\u2019s obvious from the vantage point of space that we\u2019re living a lie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feeling The Oversight Impact Here on Earth<\/h2>\n<p>Naturally, most of us will never get the chance to travel to space and experience looking back at Earth from another planet.<\/p>\n<p>It does not follow, therefore, that we cannot have the same epiphany while still here on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Some recommendations are to take some time to gaze out at an ocean, any ocean would do, and concentrate on how big it is and how different things are on the other side of it.<\/p>\n<p>Standing atop a mountain or at the edge of the Grand Canyon is an additional alternative.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to remain unaffected by the troubles that surround you and the rest of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Often, all it takes to have a comparable feeling is to spend some time in nature<\/p>\n<p>Traveling is great, especially when you get to meet new people and visit amazing natural and man-made locations.<\/p>\n<p>Those experiences have the ability to show you how similar people are all around the world, despite our differences, and how crucial it is that we safeguard the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Do you know what the overview effect is?
