Leading off today is a post from Valeria Maltoni at Conversation Agent. In her post she talks about trying to solve today’s problems, not trying to predict the future. Flowing Data found an absolutely ridiculous visualization of the solar system, where the base assumption is if the moon was one pixel large. It is very cool to navigate, and puts some perspective on how far things are.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
