World's Air Traffic Pattern: 24 Hours Condensed to 1 Minute and 11 Seconds
received from C. Alan Kang et al
This is a 24-hour recording of the aircraft flights in the world, condensed down to one minute and 11 seconds.  
You can tell it was summer time in the north by the sun's footprint over the planet.  We learned about the earth’s
tilt and how it causes summer and winter and had to imagine what is going on. With this video, we can see the
daylight pattern move and the contrast of flight frequencies between day and night.
