Title: B-Roll of the SC98: Images of Earth and Space II
Abstract: This videotape tours the Solar System and outer space using scientific visualizations from Goddard Space Flight Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the HPCC Earth and Space Sciences Project. At the Sun, simulations investigate processes that create magnetic field and release energetic particles. Earth science begins with the Pacific Ocean, studying the 1997-98 El Nino and Cyclone Susan. Crossing the globe, visualizations trace North America's East Coast and ocean currents in the North Atlantic Ocean. The lights of the world's cities then show human impact. Next, two models probe nearby-space phenomena, fluid behavior in microgravity conditions and an asteroid collision. A jaunt to Mars explores the mountains and trenches of its dry, rocky exterior. The video concludes at a binary neutron star system, where two city-sized objects with the Sun's mass merge in a titanic explosion.

An animation of turbulent convection on the surface of the Sun, where brighter colors trace rising hot regions and darker colors trace sinking cool regions 550 Solar Dynamo 01:00:33:23  -   01:01:44:29
A animation of the magnetic field of a sunspot, where the magnetic field at the Suns surface is colored blue for strong fields pointing into the sun and red for strong fields pointing out of the Sun. The white lines represent magnetic field lines. 551 Delta Sunspot 01:01:46:29  -   01:02:36:07
Four animations of data sets in the Pacific from January 1997 through July 1998, showing the difference of El Nino conditions from normal. The data sets are sea surface height anomaly, sea surface temperature anomaly, and sea surface wind anomaly. 552 The 1997-98 El Niño 01:02:38:08  -   01:04:50:28
An animation of the TRMM satellite taking measurements of Cyclone Susan, followed by a slice through the cyclone showing a surface of constant precipitation density colored by surface rainfall amounts. Data taken by TRMM on January 7, 1998. 553 Cyclone Susan 01:04:52:29  -   01:05:47:23
A flyby from the Gulf of Mexico along the east coast of the United States to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, from a SeaWiFS image taken April 12, 1998 554 SeaWiFS Gulf of Mexico Eastern U.S. Fly-by 01:05:49:24  -   01:09:20:08
An animation of three-dimensional current velocity in the North Atlantic, where velocity ranges from 30 centimeters per second, shown in blue, to 200 centimeters per second, shown in red 555 North Atlantic Ocean Current Velocity 01:09:22:09  -   01:10:17:01
An image showing Earths light sources on a rotating globe, where white represents stable urban lights and fire data is shown in red and yellow. 556 Earth at Night 01:10:19:02  -   01:11:12:15
Two animations of fluid flow in a microgravity environment, where colors represent temperature and ribbons display the path of fluid motion. Redder colors are warmer. 557 Fluid Flows in a Microgravity Environment 01:11:14:16  -   01:12:07:26
A cut-away view of the asteroid Castalia as it is impacted by a house-sized rock traveling at 5 kilometers per second. The scattering white dots are fragments from the smaller rock. 558 Asteroid Castalia Impact Simulation 01:12:09:27  -   01:13:33:03
A flyby of the Martian surface, using topography and imagery from Mariner 9 and Viking 559 Mars 01:13:35:04  -   01:16:30:09
A simulated collsion between two neutron stars, shown as translucent spheres. The flat circles are cross-sections through the equators, showing matter density increasing as colors move from yellow to blue to red. 560 Neutron Star Collision 01:16:32:10  -   01:17:24:06

*Please note: the SVS does not fulfill requests for copies of the tapes in our library. On some of our animation pages, there is a direct link to a video distribution service from which tapes, handled by the Public Affairs Office (PAO)/Goddard TV, including some of our animations may be ordered. General information on this service can be found here.
