Amazing Tracking of World Airplane Flights!

Jim Brown Audio Player
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

You won’t believe this….the yellow dots in the video below 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 at 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 footprint 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.

With this 24 hour observation of aircraft travel on the earth’s surface we get
to see the daylight pattern move as well.
