Same same, but different

Great data visualizations for number and origin of refugees.

Nice resumé of current satellites and their characteristics.

Neat utility (also with Firefox plugin) to download a bunch of files via HTTP from a server.

This visualization gives an overview of the whole citation network. The colors represent the four main groups of journals, which are further subdivided into fields in the outer ring. The segments of the inner ring represent the individual journals, scaled by Eigenfactor™ Score. In the initial view, the top 1000 citation links are plotted. Line size and opacity represents connection strength.

Nice visualization of people moving from one place to another.

Nice Web GIS application from the swiss government.
