A new engine for knowledge presentation and searching was released and wow. I'm impressed.

Queries like "positition of Jupiter at 23:00 tonight" are quite enlightening.

Molecular comparisons

Weather forecasts

Fun, fun, fun

I love how the information is presented. Check it out if you can!! If you find some interesting results maybe post them here.
