We can see your house from here... and you've left your oven on.
This hypnotic NATS (
National Air Traffic Services) visualisation of flights over Europe over the course of one Summer day is simply spectacular. All we know is that it looks reeeeal pretty but here is the official blurb from the NATS website:
This data visualization of Air Traffic in Europe was created from real flight data. It shows the air traffic which flies on a typical summer day and highlights the intensity of the operation in Europe - an operation which runs 24x7x365.
NATS and the UK are at the heart of the operation. With Heathrow as the busiest international airport in Europe, and Gatwick as the busiest single runway airport in the world, we play a key role in ensuring air traffic under our control in European airspace is as safe and efficient as it can be.
Sit back and marvel at the sheer intricacy of the constant flights over Europe... or you could just pretend that you're an evil Bond villain launching nuclear weapons.
Mwahahaha.
Mwaaahahahahahaha.
MMWWWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
