    Solar Superstorms - Visualization Excerpts

Director(s):



Description:


    This full-dome production features visualizations originating from hundreds of terabytes of scientific supercomputer data, which reveal the sun’s dynamic processes. Viewers travel beneath the solar surface through the magnetically active convection zone, observe an emerging coronal mass ejection, and finally witness the earth’s magnetosphere deflecting the resultant electromagnetic storm.
