B) An interesting map showing where the GDP of the US is concentrated. To nobody's surprise, 50% of US GDP happens in the top 23 metro areas.

C) A pair of fascinating images from XKCD:

Second, all the surface area in the Solar System on the same map. As one can clearly see, Mars may be a small planet but it's got the same land area as all of Earth's continents.
