Carbon Brief covers climate science, energy and policy, specialising in clear, data-driven articles to improve the understanding of climate change.
This website was created not only to help people find the few dark skies left, but also to raise awareness of the problem. It’s hard to know what you’re missing out on until you’ve seen it for yourself. In some ways light pollution is easy to fix, because there is nothing permanent about it. Unlike other forms of pollution, it does not remain in the environment once it’s shut off.
Desmos offers free graphing, scientific, 3d, and geometry calculators used globally. We help everyone learn math, love math, and grow with math. We believe that everyone has an inner mathematician and that some people haven’t been given the opportunity, encouragement, or tools to discover theirs.
EuroBirdPortal (EBP) is an online platform and project that integrates bird observation data from various European online portals to create a large-scale, spatiotemporal database for studying bird distribution and movements.
The historical tech tree is a project by Étienne Fortier-Dubois to visualize the entire history of technologies, inventions, and (some) discoveries, from prehistory to today. Unlike other visualizations of the sort, the tree emphasizes the connections between technologies: prerequisites, improvements, inspirations, and so on.
A growing resource, de-mystifying houseplant care for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
A tediously accurate scale map of the solar system that illustrates the mind-boggling amount of space between planets.

See current wind, weather, ocean, and pollution conditions, as forecast by supercomputers, on an interactive animated map. Updated every three hours.
OCEARCH is a global non-profit organization conducting unprecedented research on our oceans' giants in order to help scientists collect previously unattainable data in the ocean. Our mission is to accelerate the ocean's return to balance and abundance through fearless innovations in critical scientific research, education, outreach, and policy using unique collaborations of individuals and organizations in the U.S and abroad.
OldMapsOnline is a free, open-access search portal that allows users to explore and discover historical maps from libraries and archives around the world. It brings together over 500,000 high-resolution scanned maps into a single, user-friendly interface, enabling users to search by location and time period without needing to know which institution holds the original map.
PhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. These tests include student interviews and observation of simulation use in classrooms.
Restor is a network for nature positive action, providing environmental data, automated reporting, and access to funding, connecting a global movement.
This project visualizes the path of a rain droplet from any point in the world to its end point (usually an ocean or an inland water features). It will find the closest river/stream flowline coordinate to a click/search and then animate along that flowline's downstream path.
Seeing Theory was created by Daniel Kunin while an undergraduate at Brown University. The goal of this website is to make statistics more accessible through interactive visualizations.
Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy organizes scholars from around the world in philosophy and related disciplines to create and maintain an up-to-date reference work.
Stellarium is a state-of-the-art astronomical engine providing an accurate night sky simulation based on potentially gigantic amounts of online imaging and sky objects catalogs.
