It started out as a hobby and ended up being a global service: I am referring to the service offered by flightradar24.com that helps commoners around the world keep a track of the entire air traffic around the world. 'Entire' is not exactly true as military and other sensitive flight details are obviously blocked / not tracked. Even then, it is a very useful and educative service!

On June 30 2018, the flightradar24's twitter handle showed a visualization around their observation of that day being the busiest till date. That visualization was just awesome!

For those interested in trivia or having aviation as their core interest area, given below is a link to their website which explains how the flights are tracked.
