I'm declaring today to be No Context Research Visualization Thursday.

Post a data visualization from your research, whatever it is, with no explanation or context.

Here's mine:

#NoContextResearchVisualizationThursday
#NoContextForYou

An x-y line plot. The x-axis is "angular separation" and the y-axis is "count". There are two lines, labeled "Within leg" and "Between legs". The "within leg" line is tall and narrow, spiking to more than 10^6 between zero and five arcseconds, but flat zero for all greater values. The "between leg" line never gets above 1000 but has lots of bumps and wiggles all the way out to 6 degrees, with notable peaks at 10 arcseconds, 2, 5, 12, and 17 arcminutes, and 1 and 2 degrees.
