Cool Visualization of the Kepler Extrasolar Planet Data
I've posted links to the data from the Kepler Extrasolar planet mission (now linked to in Wikipedia, I'm not worthy), data on over 1,200 extrasolar planets and their stars. My Excel graph was rather sucky, but Flowing Data has some stunning visualizations of the data, and a cool animation from Jer Thorp. Rush over there right away.
