A graduation student in Sweden has created "international flag of planet Earth" with the assistance from American Space agency, NASA.

Oskar Pernefeldt, who studies at the Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, said that the flag will remind people that everyone shares this planet. The flag has seven rings in the form of a flower, which symbolises the life on earth. The seven rings are linked to each other that shows that everything on the planet is directly or indirectly linked.

Pernefeldt said that it is to, "to remind the people of Earth that we share this planet, no matter of national boundaries. That we should take care of each other and the planet we live on. Current expeditions in outer space use different national flags depending on which country is funding the voyage. The space travellers, however, are more than just representatives of their own countries. They are representatives of planet Earth."

He also explained that the blue field represents water that is essential for life and as oceans cover most of the planet.The flower's outer rings form a circle as a symbol of Earth and the blue surface as the universe.
