Each week, Spatial Source finds the best that the internet has to offer.

Sydney programmer and all round data genius Ken Tsang has created a real-time map of Sydney’s transport system. We don’t just mean the latest map of where trains go, we’re saying this map shows you in real time where every Bus, Train, Light Rail Carriage and Ferry on the Sydney public transport network is at this moment.

What if people were mapped like mountains? Picture Himalayan-class mountain ranges, composed not of rock but towering precipices of stacked human bodies—that’s the weird geology summoned up in this visualisation of earth’s population as geologic masses. [CityLab]

When Melbourne game developer Emre Deniz posted some screenshots of his Virtual Reality project Earthlight to Reddit, he was just hoping to get some feedback from fellow space and gaming nerds. He didn’t expect the post would totally blow the community away, and have engineers at NASA come knocking. The project is now helping train astronauts for space. [Triple J Hack]

Could surveying be recognised as one of the world’s wonders? That is what is being proposed in a new push to make European boundary stones like that above into UNESCO-listed world heritage sites. According to those behind the move, the work and science that went into measuring out and marking land borders is equivalent to a “man-made world wonder.” [Atlas Obscura]

The Future Mapping Company has announced the discovery of a new island 20 kilometres off the coast of Great Britain. They have naturally already produced a new map of this island. The Isle of Bait is a small, beautiful and untouched paradise, but there is a hitch—it is only visible through the Face Swap Snapchat filter. It appears that a glitch during the most recent geological shift caused a permanent geofence to go up around the island, preventing it from being visible to the naked eye.
