Sixty Symbols

screen-cap from Sixty Symbols
Here is a terrific website that tells the story behind the symbols of physics and astronomy. Each of the symbols is linked to a video explanation. The information and videos are created by experts at The University of Nottingham. The site self-describes itself thusly: "Sixty Symbols is a collection of videos about physics and astronomy presented by experts from The University of Nottingham. They aren't lessons or lectures - and this site has never tried to be an online reference book. The films are just fun chats with men and women who love their subject and know a lot about it!" Definitely worth a look.
