Movie   ID   Roles   Title
Visualization of a methane plume found in Mars’ atmosphere during the northern summer season.   3574 Scientist
  Methane Plume on Mars
Conceptual animation depicting how geochemical processes during the course of Mars' history may have produced the methane plumes now seen in Mars' atmosphere. Here, through a process called serpentinization, methane is generated as part of a reaction involving the conversion of liquid water (seen seeping into the planet's crust), iron oxide, and carbon dioxide energized by the planet's internal heat into serpentine minerals.   10358 Scientist
  Geochemical Creation of Methane
Conceptual animation depicting how biological organisms (shown as oval-shaped translucent structures) living beneath the surface of Mars may have produced methane (shown as blue spheres).   10359 Scientist
  Biological Creation of Methane
Conceptual animation demonstrating the process of spectroscopy. The first animation demonstrates the general concept of visible-light spectroscopy by which white light is separated into its component wavelengths (colors) using a prism. The second animation demonstrates how this idea is applied to the discovery of methane in Mars' atmosphere. Because it absorbs specific wavelengths of electromagnetic energy, methane has a 'fingerprint' that can be seen as missing lines on the resulting spectograph.   10360 Scientist
  Mars Methane Spectroscopy
Mike Mumma and his team of researchers at Goddard Space Flight Center have made the first definitive observations of methane in the atmosphere of Mars. The evidence of methane plumes only during certain seasons and the chemical processes that could lead to its possible sources both raise intriguing questions for future study.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010300/a010363/Transcript_of_methane_short.htm'>here</a>.   10363 Scientist

  Images of Earth and Space: The Role of Visualization in NASA Science
In this animation of the initial simulation conditions, the comet orbit around Jupiter is shown, then the view zooms in to the comet at a distance of 2.1 Jovian radii from Jupiter, where the initial spherical distribution is shown within a box 4 km on a side.   84 Scientist
  Simulations of the Breakup of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Employing a Swarm Model: Initial Conditions
This animation follows the center of mass of the particles as the clumps form, stopping at several points to rotate and zoom the swarm configuration. The green line connects the center of mass with Jupiter and the box size remains constant at 4 km.   85 Scientist
