I am preparing a paper for school about scatterplots. Their benefits and use cases. Would be cool to have some examples of especially great ones.

http://datavis.ca/papers/friendly-scat.pdf has a section ”remarkable scatterplots in the history of science”

That section mentions the Hertzprung-Russell diagram as a fine example.
