Maybe better to show a probability density instead?

I.e. the likelihood of hitting an object using a LEO view that is facing parallel to the earth's surface below the viewer

The idea is that in every direction is a color map indicating probability of hitting an object if going straight in that direction to infinity, or till reaching earth's surface (for downward angles), assuming all the objects are frozen in time

Not sure how to represent earth's surface though without fudging the color map colors, so maybe scratch that or use outlines to represent continents instead of surface color

Its an idea maybe?
