Very interesting project! The possibility of showcasing the flat planet concept was just the tip of the iceberg.

Including aspects like water pollution and health risks would add significant value to this already impressive initiative.

Thank you for sharing!

All I really learned from this is that European skies have a much higher density of flights than the rest of the world.

If the future of aviation is similar flight densities everywhere then people might actually begin to care about this topic.

Remember that there are more flights during the day than during the night. When you posted this it was late afternoon in Europe, noon on the East Coast US and early morning on the West Coast. And of course it was night in Asia.

This group is funded by Orca Sciences, which is also behind Standard Thermal.

That's right! The project started at Orca Sciences back in 2021. We moved to Breakthrough Energy in 2023, and will be spinning out into our own standalone non-profit soon.

Would be great for shiptracks, too— which used to mitigate 1/3 of the warming impact of maritime shipping — until the 2022 clean fuel standards were implemented.

Preserving the aesthetics of the sky is reason enough to stop artificial clouds. Why would we accept such a mess?
