Because the oceans are probably the best thing that ever happened to earth (humanity ranks dead last), this is a beautiful visualization of the earth’s ocean currents according to NASA’s ECCO (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) model, developed using data from spacecraft, buoys, and other measurements. Was

This is a 3D visualization created by Global Data featuring the scale of various objects in the universe, beginning with subatomic particles, then covering animals and manmade objects and landmarks we’re all familiar with here on earth before traveling into space, ending with the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall. The Great

This is a visualization created by Red Side comparing the speed of the fastest manmade vehicles and other objects in different categories (e.g. fastest motorcycle, fastest jet aircraft, fastest space probe). It provides both 1st and 3rd person views, and begins with the fastest vehicles ever driven on Mars, the

This is a visualization from Global Data comparing the different sizes of Pixar characters (way to put that global data to good use!), starting with the diminutive 0.7″ Flik and ending with the giant 98′ 5.1″ whale from Finding Nemo. All the other characters are in-between. Did you know Mr.

This is a 3D visualization created by Popular Science comparing the weights of Pokemon to real animals that weigh the same to give a better sense of their heft. Some more info to prove somebody actually spent time thinking about this: If Pokémon existed in the wild, which animals would

This is a visual comparison of increasingly larger fish, from the diminutive 1cm Paedocypris progenetica to the 30m blue whale. The video begins using a grasshopper for scale before moving to a bunny, and finally, humans. There are some big fish out there! Me? I’m neither the smallest nor the

This is another size comparison video from MetaBallStudios (previously), this time comparing the size of various mechas as viewed by a person standing at ground level. It was actually pretty awesome to watch since the mechas strutted around running into things and weren’t just standing still. Was I disappointed Krang’s

Back with another size comparison visualization, this is a video from MetaBallStudios (previously) comparing the sizes of numerous weapons from pop culture, from tiny rings and handguns to massive space station sized superweapons. Obviously, comparing a rifle directly to the Death Star would be like comparing apples to an orchard,
