WORLD AIR TRAFFIC 0-24 HRS. VIEW FROM SATELLITE

[Edrof]

Thanks for the link

 

[Freefaller]

Brilliant vid.

I love how you can see the density changing over a period of time and as night falls (you can see the shadow) and as dawn starts. Rather interesting.

Did anybody else see some very fast moving planes around the north pole?

 

[agnes]

do I need a flickr account or something to see this?

In the time you typed that, could have clicked the link and found out lol.

But no.

Also, the vid is very interesting, strange that the air plane safety statistics are still good!

Europe is getting invaded by American Tourist!

 

[Inquisitor]

FWIW, this can't have been "taken" by a satellite, since it would have to be surrounding the planet to be able to see everything.

Brilliant vid.

I would imagine that's due to the map projection (Mercator by the looks of it).

 

[bloodiedathame]

Yup, map projection, you are travelling shorter distances flying east or west as you near the poles, thus on the animation it looks like they are travelling very quickly.

 

[Benihana]

Europe is completely saturated by the looks of it, America doesn't seem that busy by comparison.

 

[paulh]

cool, thanks.

 

[apatia77]

Awesome link, kinda looks like a computer game of some sort

 

[Voltar]

good vid thanks op

 

[gord]

I'm really surprised how much the traffic drops off over night. I'd always thought of the major population centres as constantly busy. Guess people do sleep.

I'm guessing you dont live near an airport!

 

[Efour]

Good lord, i never considered that there was that many flights in/over the US and Europe.

madness.
