I though I'd try and do a visualisation of the data in 3D - so I took the visible band and projected the two orbits worth onto two concentric dognuts around a sphere...obviously this isn't really accurate as spacecraft don't to 360 degrees then hop 15 degrees to one side, but it gives some idea of where the data comes from, all be it exagerated vertically.
