Air Traffic Worldwide

I love examining data through charts and whatnot so when something like this comes along I need to reach for a box of tissues.

The video (below) shows a single 24 hour cycle of the air traffic around the globe with yellow dots depicting each flight. You can see the daylight and night shadow run over the Earth's surface and how the various flights in each country (check out the flights from America to Europe) fluctuate during the cycle.

North America and Europe both become a mass of yellow during the daylight.

Thanks Jussy!
