World Air Traffic As Seen from Space, 0-24 Hours Video

Monday, March 29th, 2010

This is easily one of the most fascinating thing you will have seen your whole life. The video shows World Air Traffic for 24 hours as seen from Space (view from satellite). Each yellow dot represents a plane that’s in the air during a 24 hour period.

Since whole day of the World Air Traffic is captured on the video, you will see the day and night moving west from the east. It is amazing to take notice of how air traffic slows down and stops as night falls on an area. The least traffic seems to be in early morning hours of the day – between 2am and 5am.

You can also notice the overnight traffic from the USA to England timed to arrive in London in the morning. As the day progresses, the flights to Europe slow down and eventually stop and the traffic reverses with flights to the American continent. Air traffic over Europe is insane during daytime hours and the same happens in North America as European traffic slows down for the night.

Obviously, even though the video demonstrate the world air traffic, the yellow dots only represent larger aircraft. Smaller planes which are not equipped with transponders are not shown. Did you know that on a worldwide scale, 51,000 planes are in the air in any given minute? The pollution impact from air planes must be atrocious.

Video of Astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper Losing Tool Bag in Space

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

This is the video of that tool bag female astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper who lost the tool bag worth $100,000 in space.

Video actually shows gross negligence on behalf of astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper who let go of the tool bag, likely thinking that it will float right next to her, but the tool bg decided to float away while the dumb bag astronaut watched it go away for good.

According to NASA, any debris floating up in space can reach the speed of 22,000 miles per hour. Any particle flying at that speed can cause severe damage to a craft controlled by people. NASA actually reports that had to replace 80 windows on their space crafts that got damaged as result of collision with small objects, such as a drop of paint that fell off during careless painting by another astronaut.

Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper was spacewalking with her tool bag in effort to clean and lube up a joint on a solar panel outside the international space station. She said her grease gun exploded on her which is why her clumsy hands let the tool bag with all her tools float off. Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper is part of seven member crew on Endeavour. Another crew member – Stephen Bowen provided his tools so the greasing effort was accomplished.
