World Air Traffic 24h

It is a 24-hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the world (recorded by the airplane flight transponders via Geo-stationary orbital satellites) patched together and condensed to about a minute, ie, you watch 24 hours of flights compressed into one minute. You can see it is summer in the north by the location of sunlight on the planet. With this 24-hour observation of aircraft travel on the earth’s surface, we also get to see the daylight pattern move across the planet. ( Note the intensity of traffic in London Heathrow Airport) Notice the reduction of activity in each region during the darkness of late night/early morning.
