Questions and Answers Thread!

Inspired by threads on other forums a Questions and Answers thread to ask one off questions that don't deserve a full thread.

This one is a little confusing, but hopefully someone else saw it.

It was on BBC News 24 last night (not sure on the time)and it showed a picture of the UK. Over the top they populated air travel over the UK in the last 24 hours, showing the paths the planes take. Then it also showed UK phone calls and internet usage with the hot spots.

Did anyone see it and have a link to the article or a website with similar data videos?

That was pretty cool. Liked the telephone bit - the way it spreads out from London in the morning.

Does anyone know when the ISS is coming back as this is the last night listed for a pass?

Saw the advert and thought those images where fake and to make the programme glossy. But it actually makes sense i think i may watch.
Also thanks to the guys above for the links.

Sorry, there were no visible passes of the ISS over your location in the search period. The visibility occurs in cycles and will start again soon, so please check back in a few days. The next period of visibility is expected to start on 29 August.
