Cladogram from the AMNH which does a very nice job of explaining major branching points. Probably one of the best that I’ve seen.

How big of a sphere would all the Earth’s water or air be? (from Science Photo Library, via ddmeyer’s delicious) From the SPL site: “Global Air & Water Volume: Conceptual computer artwork of the total volume of water on Earth (left) and of air in the Earth’s atmosphere (right) shown as spheres (blue and pink). The spheres show how finite water and air supplies are. The water sphere…includes all the water in the oceans, seas, ice caps, lakes and rivers as well as ground water, and that in the atmosphere. […] As the atmosphere extends from Earth it becomes less dense. Half of the air lies within the first 5 kilometres of the atmosphere.”

How big was the quake? This big! (via Dan’s Wild Wild Science Journal). “This is the broadband seismogram from Virginia Tech. It is set to record distant quakes. It speaks for itself. Keep in mind the distance between Chile and Blacksburg West Virginia. The Earth rang like a bell last night.”
