The underlying data’s not really scientific, but for a sense of the power that good visualization techniques bring to otherwise dry information, check this out: its a visualization of all the flights traveling in the North American airspace. It’s remarkably hypnotic, and actually informative, as it lets you detect bursts of activity as they track the time differences across the US. I find that the burst of overnight flights sent off to Europe is fun to watch.
