Trying to scan and reduce Nigel Holmes' foldout equatorial graphic is like converting the Mona Lisa to Braille.    The second best SISI example would be the contents page, but reduced in size, the model dominates the frame.    So what does this tell us about designing quality on the web?    * * * * *    Edward Tufte's book, "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information," says more on these sorts of topics than a freight train full of professors. I encourage everyone hitting this page to read his book and fold out Holmes' graphic. Then thank the SI researchers for providing good information to present. Think about it -- the facts, the words, the information will keep you at the page longer than Daniela Pestova. Now there's a testiment to the power of good information.
