Look at This: Every Recorded Hurricane Since 1851 on One Map
Discover Blogs | 80beats, via io9 | 2012 Aug 24
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a tropical storm and hurricane data archive that stretches back to 1851. But looking at each storm individually doesn’t have nearly as much impact as seeing them all projected onto a map at once. Data visualization expert John Nelson combined data on historical storms’ paths and intensities to create this stunning image, where the color of a dot represents that storm’s intensity.

Voyager 2 approach image of Triton

Taken on August 21, 1989, four days before Voyager 2's closest
approach to Neptune, this was one of the first images to show
surface features on Neptune's largest moon, Triton.

Montage: Neptune and Triton

This computer generated montage shows Neptune as it would appear
from a spacecraft approaching Triton, Neptune's largest moon. The
wind and sublimation eroded south polar cap of Triton is shown at the
bottom of the Triton image, a cryovolcanic terrain at the upper right,
and the enigmatic "cantaloupe terrain" at the upper left. Voyager 2
flew by Triton and Neptune on Aug. 29, 1989. (Credit: NASA)
