StumbleUpon top 5 rated websites: best solar eclipse photo, a brief history of everything

A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on February 12.
This week's selection includes an amazing 21-photo composite of a solar eclipse, some stunning images of Mars, a blog post that compares the effort needed to make a plastic spoon with that needed to wash a metal one, a stop-motion video created with a ballpoint pen and a pad of paper that shows a brief history of the world, and a video that describes the inherent racism apparent in the US army.
