Dear all, please see this announcement from the IAU OAO.

*100 Hours of Astronomy 2023 *
>From 1 to 4 October 2023, the IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO) will
continue the legacy of celebrating 100 Hours of Astronomy
<https://www.iau.org/public/oao/100-hours-of-astronomy/>. This year’s theme
is One Planet.  We aim to create an experience that fosters a sense of
unity, connection, and togetherness among the public, inspired by the
camaraderie astronauts feel when returning from space missions, called the
Overview Effect. This series of events will celebrate the beauty of our
shared planet and promote global cooperation, environmental stewardship,
and a collective commitment to a better future.


*The Overview Effect*The Overview Effect[*1] is a term coined to describe a
profound and transformative shift in consciousness that astronauts often
experience when viewing the Earth from space. It is a cognitive and
emotional response to the breathtaking sight of our planet from orbit or
the Moon. Key aspects of the Overview Effect include:

   - *Awe and Unity:* Astronauts describe an overwhelming sense of awe and
   unity as they gaze upon Earth from space. They see the planet as a fragile
   and interconnected ecosystem devoid of boundaries and divisions.
   - *Increased Environmental Awareness:* The experience fosters a deep
   appreciation for Earth's beauty and a heightened awareness of environmental
   challenges. Many astronauts return to Earth with a strong commitment to
   protecting the environment.
   - *Shift in Perspective:* The Overview Effect often leads to a shift in
   perspective, where individuals recognise the insignificance of individual
   conflicts and the importance of cooperation to address global issues.
   - *Spiritual and Philosophical Insights:* Some astronauts describe the
   experience as spiritual or philosophical, leading to a reevaluation of
   their life's purpose and a sense of interconnectedness with all living
   beings.
   - *Motivation for Space Exploration:* The Overview Effect has also
   served as motivation for further space exploration, as astronauts return
   with a sense of responsibility to explore space while ensuring the
   preservation of Earth.

The Overview Effect underscores the profound impact that space travel can
have on the human perspective and underscores the importance of
safeguarding our planet and working collaboratively to address global
challenges.



*100 Hours Astronomy IAU Calendar of Outreach Global Events Submission*Once

*IAU OAO 100 Hours Art Projects Competition*We are excited to offer
participants the opportunity to engage in a collaborative art project that
symbolises unity and interconnectedness. This project will allow us to
create a collective artwork that embodies the festival's theme of astronomy
and the overview effect. We ask you to create a piece of art: a painting,
picture, poem, video, or any other creative medium. For your piece of art
to be included, it must be submitted through this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSewV3DjrtKNu506cln_U_02j_n8EkKfjuoFJb56T6dEGq7TVw/viewform?usp=sf_link>,
along with a picture or link to a video before 10 October 2023, 23:59 UTC.
By sending us your piece of art, you agree for it to be shared on the IAU
OAO social media pages, with your name linked to it. We will randomly
select two entries to win a telescope courtesy of Sterren Schitteren Voor
Iedereen <https://www.ssvi.be/> (Stars Shine For Everyone - SSVI), University
