Europa needs to chill the fuck out
Everyone else needs to get on Europa’s level
truly, and we need to go there soon.

Fortunately science, like that nature to which it belongs, is neither limited by time nor by space. It belongs to the world, and is of no country and of no age. The more we know, the more we feel our ignorance; the more we feel how much remains unknown… there are always new worlds to conquer.
words on science by good Sir Humphry Davy
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”
-Lawrence Krauss

Super sweet music box made with the orbits of the planets (+ Pluto). Really cool visualization of the periods of our fellow sun circlers (/ellipsers).

The Ontology of Science: Showing the Links within Science
The Ontology Explorer [science-metrix.com] provides an interactive interface for exploring the multi-lingual classification of scientific journals retrieved from the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters) and Scopus (Elsevier). Both databases provide half a billion references indexed from over 20 million source items (scientific papers, conference proceedings, and a lesser number of book series). The resulting visualization thus reveals the links between about 175 scientific specialties in 18 languages, ranging from Arabic to Swedish. The journal classification, which covers 15,000 peer-reviewed scientific journals, was translated by more than 22 international experts who volunteered their time and expertise.
The visualization contains 3 different views: a circular “Subfield Citation Wheel” (representing both citations as well as references), a “Field Citation Wheel” (showing the links between distinct scientific disciplines) and a network “Map of Science” (revealing similarities between disciplines by relative distance). The goal of this visualization is to show people how science spans a broad universe and how interlinked scientific research actually is.
