What you will see, is a video showing air traffic around the world
for 24 hours, taken from a satellite.
You won't believe this! The yellow dots are airplanes in the sky
during a 24 hour period.
Stay with the picture. You will see the light of the day moving from
the east to the west, as the Earth spins on it's axis. Also you will
see the aircraft flow of traffic leaving the North American continent
and traveling at night to arrive in the UK in the morning.
Then you will see the flow changing, leaving the UK in the morning
and flying to the American continent in daylight.
It is 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 could tell it was summer time in the north by the sun's foot
print over the planet. You could see that it didn't quite set in the
extreme north and it didn't quite rise in the extreme south.


I have never seen this before. We are taught about the earth's tilt
and how it causes summer and winter and have had to imagine just what
is going on.
