Earth and Friends in Multiple Wavelengths
There is a lot more to the universe than the light you and I can pick up with our eyes and brains. Although its a shame that we can’t see them naturally we can use technology to reveal the wavelengths of light normally invisible to us. Visible light is only part of the electromagnetic spectrum (a very small part) and I thought it would be interesting to see some familiar objects in unfamiliar ways.

This file includes real-time position tracking and 1 hour flight paths for 9 different space telescopes and satellites.
