The animation above shows a rather surprising fact. Gravity on earth is not uniform everywhere. In some places it’s actually stronger than others.
Light Speed: Really Fast, But Also Really Slow
Created by Dr James O’Donoghue found via reddit
The animation above does a great job showing both how fast and slow light speed really is. The speed of light is theoretically the fastest speed you can travel in the universe. At 299,792,458 m/s (186,282 miles per second) it is really, really fast. However, given how vast space is, it’s also really, really slow.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions By Country Between 1850 & 2016
Robert Rohde
The animation above shows annual greenhouse gas emissions by country between 1850 and 2016. And spoiler the US is consistently the largest emitter of greenhouse gases until the last decade when China dramatically overtakes it.
The data comes from the The PRIMAP-hist national historical emissions time series. You can also watch Robert Rohde’s original video below:

Percent Of UK Electricity Generated From Coal 2012-2019
The chart above shows the stunning phase-out of coal from the UK’s electricity generating mix. Up until 2013 coal was routinely responsible for over 50% of the UK’s electricity generation depending on the time of day.
However, that share has now declined so dramatically, that in 2019 it’s normal to go days at a time with coal being responsible for 0% of the UK’s electricity generation.
