Gravity wells visualized!

I remember coming across this neat little graph quite some time ago, and then it turned up again today over at Brad Murray's blog Blue Collar Space so I felt I had to spread the space love with you all! It was made by Randall Munroe over at xkcd.com and in a very easily understandable way demonstrates the different gravity wells across our solar system. Beautiful stuff!

Oh, and if you can't remember quite who Brad Murray is, he's one of the creators of Diaspora.
