The International Space Station orbit visualized on the flat earth map (Azimuthal equidistant projection).
I saved the ISS coordinates over ~4.5 days using the API from open-notify.org, then used "Processing" to visualize the orbit path on the 3D globe and on a flat earth map (a so called "azimuthal equidistant projection").
The sound was generated from the information of the speed the ISS should have while "orbiting" the flat earth. We notice an inexplicable change in speed, because the space is stretched at the edge of this map projection, therefore the speed increases.
There are some little deviations because I recorded the ISS coordinates using a PHP script executed by a cronjob, whose timing was a bit inaccurate at some points.
It is still beautiful to watch.
