From Hong Kong to Brussels
border: none
height: 960

Forked from Wendy Mak's block in reference to this tweet.
Sample code to make an animated globe with d3 on canvas. Borrowing heavily from http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4183330 The plane flies from startCountry to endCountry, and you can rotate the globe around once the animation is done
