In Perspective, Planet: Know your planet!

Asher Kelman

OPF Owner/Editor-in-Chief
At this time we have, (almost for free), decades of detailed ocean and atmospheric 3D data on the earth's biosphere. It is a side product of our eyes in space. Look at this stunningly beautiful movie!

Visit and be amazed at what we now know, which shows how much we have yet to discover about our beautiful planet and how it sustains itself!

We cannot take this gift for granted!

But you know that!

The visualisation of wind streams is also a great addition to some websites to follow boats racing across oceans or round the world, if you follow this link, you'll see one with tactual temptation of solo world record of nonstop round the world on a multihull. The speed of the boat is really impressive (it's a trimaran with foils).
This race is against the clock, the preceding record was set last year…
There is a chance for the record to be broken again…
Thanks to the visualisation of the wind, you can better understand the course strategy of the skipper (François Gabart)
