Movie   ID   Roles   Title
NASA's THEMIS mission has overturned a longstanding belief about the interaction between solar particles and Earth's protective magnetic field. This new discovery could help scientists predict when the solar storms that can disrupt power grids, satellites and even GPS signals, could be especially severe.<p>For more information: www.nasa.gov/themis<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010300/a010356/THEMIS_script_12-11.htm'>here</a>.   10356 Scientist
  THEMIS Discovers Biggest Breach of Earth's Magnetosphere
Reconnection animation   10355 Scientist
  THEMIS discovers biggest breach of Earth's solar storm shield
The movie zooms up to the Earth from the direction of the magnetotail to view the orbits of the THEMIS satellites in their dayside orbital configuration.   3569 Scientist
  THEMIS Dayside Science - Sampling the Bow Shock
Further evolution of the substorm.   3512 Scientist
  THEMIS/ASI Nights
This movie zooms in on the Earth, revealing the placement of the ASI ground stations and their sky coverage. We observe the stations coming online as the night progresses.   3590 Scientist
  THEMIS/ASI Nights - High Resolution
Near the peak of the event, it has moved over Alaska.   3513 Scientist
  Auroral Substorm from Polar
This movie opens with a view of the five THEMIS satellites (the color dots) moving along their orbits. We then fade in the 2-D data from the Omidi simulation and zoom in to view the turbulence in the region of the bow shock.   3478 Scientist
  THEMIS Explores the Earth's Bow Shock
THEMIS ASI Gound Station Array visualization   3398 Scientist
  THEMIS ASI Ground Station Array
Themis launching aboard Delta II   10103 Scientist
  THEMIS Launch and Deployment
This movie looks down onto the north pole of the Earth and the five THEMIS spacecraft travelling along a single elliptical orbit. The Sun is to the left.   3391 Scientist
  THEMIS Orbits: Dayside Science Configuration
This movie starts from a view of the aurora (simulated) over the north polar region and pulls outward to show the THEMIS spacecraft sampling the region of space 'downwind' from the Earth.   3392 Scientist
  THEMIS Orbits: Nightside Science Configuration
This movie illustrates the three months of orbital maneuvers which transition the five satellites from their dayside science to nightside science configuration.   3394 Scientist
  THEMIS Orbits: Transitions
Opening with a view of the aurora borealis, we zoom out to reveal the proposed orbital configuration of the five THEMIS satellites and fade in a GGCM magnetosphere model.   3356 Scientist
  THEMIS Mission and Substorm Simulation
