Beautiful
I love looking at this. It kind of reminds me of the story about the astronauts looking down on the earth — ah, here’s the quotation.
The first day or so we all pointed to our countries. The third or fourth day we were pointing to our continents. By the fifth day, we were aware of only one Earth.
–Sultan bin Salman Al-Saud, astronaut
So what we need now is a wind map of the whole planet.

Update: Ah! I was so transfixed by the picture yesterday that I didn’t notice the text below it. Turns out they would love to do a global wind map — they just need a source of data.
Hooray for science turned to art!
