World Air Traffic

I got an email from my causin working in an airline company based in Canada. It has an amazing video attached to it and I want to share it with all of you.

Everything in yellow is an aircraft.

It's a 24 hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the world, condensed down to about 2 minutes.

From space we look like a bee hive of activity!

You can tell it was summer time in the north, by the sun's footprint over the planet. You can see that it didn't quite set in the extreme north, and it didn't quite rise in the extreme south.

At the beginning of the clip watch all of the traffic from the US heading for Europe over night and then all of the traffic coming back to the US during the day.

Note: You can see a larger screen for the video in my Multiply page.
