graphspergers - the graphs and quantitative visualization thread

Sort of bragging, but mainly I just write shitty code.

i made a really excellent graph this weekend but i cannot post it becuz it was for work. i managed to get like five pgs of text into one easy-to-read bar graph

making charts and graphs is like my favorite part of my job

BOO YA

btw, ur graph is v. pretty

An early version of my model

final version will look way different but hey

that's cool, but needs you get good and drunk and do stuff to it in fifteen minutes

(sounds like my wife etc.)

hat tip to dan m? http://www.andrewjaffe.net/blog/science/000399.html

tufte up in this muthafucka

lol structure of the universe

have you heard that new song by the boxy bulges, "dark matter & bars"?

lol bright galaxies spin faster, but one type of galaxy (the red ones) spins faster at a given luminosity than normal ones (the blue ones)

Wheeeeeeeeeeee!
that is all I have to contribute

well obv 2. f(x) = x^2 and the differential is 2x...

as E.T. would say, this thing is rich with information and repays careful study

That's incredible. Do you have a larger version, or the 2009 one?

Sorry, just realized that I could get a larger one if I opened that one first - thanks

only thing slightly sus about that graph is apparently the uk is almost exactly average both in its healthcare spending and life expectancy.

Video Created by Scott Manley, this is a view of the solar system showing the locations of all the asteroids starting in 1980, as asteroids are discovered they are added to the map and highlighted white so you can pick out the new ones.
The final colour of an asteroids indicates how closely it comes to the inner solar system.
Earth Crossers are Red
Earth Approachers (Perihelion less than 1.3AU) are Yellow
All Others are Green

Notice now the pattern of discovery follows the Earth around its orbit, most discoveries are made in the region directly opposite the Sun. You'll also notice some clusters of discoveries on the line between Earth and Jupiter, these are the result of surveys looking for Jovian moons. Similar clusters of discoveries can be tied to the other outer planets, but those are not visible in this video.

As the video moves into the mid 1990's we see much higher discovery rates as automated sky scanning systems come online. Most of the surveys are imaging the sky directly opposite the sun and you'll see a region of high discovery rates aligned in this manner.

At the beginning of 2010 a new discovery pattern becomes evident, with discovery zones in a line perpendicular to the Sun-Earth vector. These new observations are the result of the WISE (Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer) which is a space mission that's tasked with imaging the entire sky in infrared wavelengths.

The scale of the video at 1080P resolution is roughly 1million kilometers per pixel, and each second of video corresponds to 60 days.

Currently we have observed over half a million minor planets, and the discovery rates show no sign that we're running out of undiscovered objects, scientific estimates suggest that there are about a billion asteroids larger than 100metres (about the size of a football field) .

i knew detroit was bad, but look at the degree of clusteredness there! the segregation is so sharply defined, you could set your watch to it (and the time would be racist o'clock).

really cool stuff

want one for my city!
