World Air Travel


This is a 24 hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the world, condensed down to 1:11.
From space we look like a bee hive of activity. 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! 
All 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 its 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.
