Update: 2019-11-04
Description
What the astronauts felt when they saw Earth from afar changed them forever. The Daily Overview project aims to produce the same effect in each of us, demonstrating through a series of stunning satellite images of Earth the effect human beings are having on the planet. You have never seen the Earth like this. -Overviews by Benjamin Grant, source imagery © DigitalGlobe. Video courtesy of NASA/ESA. “Earthrise” photograph courtesy of NASA. Maps courtesy of Mapbox.

To date his images have been featured in more than 45 countries around the world, both online and in major publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and WIRED. The project’s following across social media currently exceeds an audience of 650,000. Prints of his images have been displayed in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Munich, and Paris. In 2016, Penguin Random House published his large-format book with a collection of images from the project, which has now been translated into seven languages.
