ALT Flow map of Hong Kong's microchip exports in 2025. The thickest arrow by far points to India ($5.2 billion), followed by Malaysia ($1.1 billion), Korea, the Philippines and Europe, with much smaller flows to China, the US and other destinations.
ALT Map of the migration route of Pingo, a Whimbrel fitted with a satellite transmitter in 2012. In fall, Pingo flew from Alaska across Canada and non-stop over the Atlantic to Brazil; in spring, it returned north over Central America and the US with several stopovers.

The Sonoran and Mojave Deserts are incredibly diverse, serving as habitat for migratory birds and wildlife.
USGS researchers and our partners combined satellite data, decadal plant growth cycles, and extensive ground verifications to map nearly 148 million acres at a sharp 30-meter resolution.
The resulting framework classifies 152 different vegetation and land cover types across both the United States and Mexico. Hosted as an interactive online tool by @uarizona, this map can be rapidly updated with new field observations to detect environmental shifts over time.
This non-biased science provides foundational data to regional public land managers, helping them understand habitat distribution and plan for long-term resource stability.

ALT A collection of heat maps illustrating frequent areas of field usage at all World Cups between 1966 and 2022. The change is evident in the shift from frequent passing from one end of the pitch to the other in 1966 to players now frequently using the middle of the field. Published by The Athletic.
ALT A chart showing the top five most distinctive passing patterns for Spain, Switzerland and Australia during the 2022 World Cup. While Spain recorded the highest number of signature passes, Australia recorded the longest average pass length and had the highest amount of failed passes. Published by Northeastern Global News.
ALT An infographic visualizing the expansion of the 2026 World Cup tournament to include a record of 48 teams. As a result of the expansion, some countries that participated in the 2022 World Cup did not qualify this time. Published by The Straits Times.
ALT A heat map illustrating the locations of the World Cup games that will potentially be affected by heat stress. Although Uzbekistan will be playing in some of the hottest cities in the U.S., air-conditioned stadiums are expected to keep temperatures indoors cooler. Published by Bloomberg.

Maurice Prendergast's color world.
Across beaches, gardens, promenades, and parks, Prendergast returns to the same chromatic vocabulary: ochres, creams, blues, greens, and bursts of orange.
Four palette readings from Meditations in Color.
Tobias Mayer’s triangular color chart (1758).
Created by an astronomer and cartographer, it was an early attempt to represent color through geometry than symbolism or pigment alone.
Later reproduced by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg in Opera Inedita (1775).

George Hurst, Colour (1900).
Hurst was a Scottish chemist, dye expert, and color theorist.
Looking back, many of these diagrams feel unexpectedly modern. Looking forward, they helped establish some of the foundations on which 20th CE color theory would be built.
