It can also be used to give us new, interesting, and beautiful perspectives on our world. The website Daily Overview, started by Benjamin Grant in 2013, does just that, showcasing examples of agriculture, infrastructure, or transportation that are striking and thought-provoking when seen from above.
Inspired by a video he saw of astronauts talking about what it's like to see the earth from space, Grant uses Google Maps and extensive research to find unique locations, often drawing attention to places where man's interactions with nature are most visible.
While the "overviews," as Grant calls them, can be fascinating for their visual effect, Grant hopes viewers "go beyond the aesthetics, contemplate just exactly what it is that you're seeing, and consider what that means for our planet. That is when I believe the project is most effective," he tells Business Insider.
