We would be remiss if we failed to mention Nathan Bergey’s incredible visualization of location data harvested from the International Space Station photographs of Earth. Analyzing the data from 1.13 million images, Bergey plotted a map that is as entrancing as it is enlightening.
It really is that cool. Science is only boring if one cares none about the answers.
Or the questions. There are no answers. The adventure is its own reward.
Okay, so science is occasionally boring. But as Bergey’s plot and, say, Chris Hadfield’s photographs remind, it all pays off in the end.
Skip the aphorisms, proverbs, and witless witticisms. Just follow the science.
