Airplane Flights Patterns Over The USA

A cool movie today from the APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) folks.

The movie depicts flight patterns that occurred over a few days in 2005 March. The count on the lower left shows the number of USA-related flights at the time listed on the lower right.

The major cities are beacons of light and the eastern seaboard just blazes at certain times of the day.

An excellent way of presenting the data.

It might be cool to look at, but it fails miserably to tell me anything useful. I've no idea where the coastline is, what cities are where, or what the 'blurry' lines mean compared to the sharp ones.
