[HRV] Fantastična animacija rezultat je rada programera iz Michigana koji je satelitske snimke Zemlje spojio u animaciju. Za sve mu je trebalo samo 3-5 sata rada.

[ENG] Fantastic animation result of the work of programmers from Michigan who has satellite images of the Earth merged into animation. For all it took only 3-5 hours of work.

[HRV] Gledati našu Zemlju kako 'diše' tijekom jedne godine stvarno je prekrasna stvar.
Koristeći NASA-ine satelitske snimke u visokoj rezoluciji, stručnjak za vizualizaciju podataka John Nelson stvorio je dvije sjajne animacije koje prate sezonske promjene našeg planeta.
Programer IDV Solutionsa iz Michigana spojio je niz fotografija i za cijeli projekt mu je trebalo jedno popodne.
- No malo više trebalo mi je za opisati kako sam se osjećao kada sam na to gledao - rekao je za Daily Mail. Dodaje da je znao što će moći očekivati, ali da nije mislio da će ga animacija toliko očarati.
Na ideju je došao kada je s kolegom raspravljao o dizajnu stranice NASA-e i o opcijama za prikaz satelitskih podataka. Skinuo je 12 fotografija iz svakog mjeseca na kojima nije bilo oblaka i sve je spojio u animirani gif.
- Sve u svemu, mene ovo podsjeća na disanje - rekao je Nelson.

[ENG] Watch our Earth to 'breathe' in one year really is a wonderful thing.
Using NASA satellite images in high resolution, data visualization expert John Nelson made two great animations that accompany seasonal changes of our planet.
Developer IDV Solutions from Michigan brought together a series of photos and the entire project took him one afternoon.
- But a little longer it took me to describe how I felt when I saw it - told the Daily Mail. He adds that he knew what would be expected, but that did not mean that it is so enthrall animation.
The idea came when a colleague discussing the design of NASA site and the options to view the satellite data. He took off 12 photos of each month in which there were no clouds and everything is merged into an animated gif.
- All in all, this reminds me to breathe - Nelson said.
