Some of my favorite art is science

Stumbled upon this quick little post of a presentation by Jonathan Corum, Science Graphics Editor at the New York Times, entitled The Weight of Rain.

It's a beautifully succinct and touching overview of how he has struggled to create meaningful visualizations of science efforts such as the explorations of the Mars Curiosity Rover .....

or the Kepler Search for Habitable Planets survey.

Well worth the quick read.
