Gaia
Gaia is an artwork by Luke Jerram featuring 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface. Gaia was a mythological goddess and personification of the Earth, often referred to as Mother Earth.
The 6 metre diameter installation allows us to see our planet on this scale, floating in 3D.
Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
