Every Recorded Meteorite Strike on Earth Mapped

So it turns out that meteorite in Russia the other day wasn't actually that exciting. This map shows every recorded meteorite strike on earth since 2300BC. 

Clouds Over Cuba

If you like history as much as I do, then you'll love Clouds Over Cuba. It's particularly interesting to me as I'm not so clued up about the Cuban Missile Crisis, and this interactive documentary by The Martin Agency provides superb coverage, as it were. There's even a 'What If' section to see what would have happened had things gone a little different. This is the kind of thing I wish we had had at school (although we didn't cover anything to do with it). The crisis is nearing it's 50th anniversary, and you can follow how things are going on JFK's Twitter profile. It's pretty scary reading, even if we do know how it turns out. 

Mission 26 - The Big Endeavour

A lovely timelapse film of The Endeavour's trip through L.A. I just love everything about this. I wish I could have seen her with my own eyes.

"This project was only made possible by the help of a truly amazing and talented timelapse team which included; Joe Capra, Chris Pritchard, Brian Hawkins, Andrew Walker, Ryan Killackey and myself. This truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity that we are so happy and honored to have been be a part of. The endeavor started on Thursday night and went on until Sunday night, with very little sleep to no sleep. The only thing that kept us going was pure love of the art and adrenaline. One thing that stood out the most for me, while I was shooting, was the people of Los Angeles. It was so powerful to see the excitement on peoples faces and the pride of their home town. No matter how many times I would see the Shuttle it would never get old."
