Science On a Sphere was created by NOAA and displays movies on a spherical screen, which is ideal for a show about the Earth or the planets. The audience can view the show from any side of the sphere and can see any part of the Earth. Making a movie for this system is challenging, and FROZEN was an exciting project to create. Until now, only the \"trailer\" for FROZEN has been available for viewing from our site. Here, for the first time, is an on-line version of the complete show, presented in several different formats that show different aspects of the movie. || ", "hits": 47 }, { "id": 10276, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10276/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2014-12-02T12:00:00-05:00", "title": "Beautiful Earth with GPM", "description": "Full webcast of the GPM/Beautiful Earth event. || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_youtube_hq_print.jpg (1024x576) [173.3 KB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_youtube_hq.00002_print.jpg (1024x576) [160.7 KB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_youtube_hq_searchweb.png (320x180) [102.2 KB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_youtube_hq_web.png (320x180) [102.2 KB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_youtube_hq_thm.png (80x40) [7.3 KB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_1280x720.webm (1280x720) [445.6 MB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_youtube_hq.mov (1280x720) [2.3 GB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_1280x720.wmv (1280x720) [1.9 GB] || Beautiful_Earth_2014_12_01_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [313.1 MB] || ", "hits": 28 }, { "id": 11258, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11258/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2013-04-29T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "Earth Day 2013: Beautiful Earth", "description": "Connect with Goddard Space Flight Center on Earth Day, April 22nd at 12:00PM Eastern for a musical and visual tour of Earth from space with interactive discussions through the Beautiful Earth program!

At the same time, another team has exploited improved analytical techniques to locate nine new gamma-ray pulsars in Fermi data.A pulsar, also called a neutron star, is the closest thing to a black hole astronomers can observe directly, crushing half a million times more mass than Earth into a sphere no larger than a city. This matter is so compressed that even a teaspoonful weighs as much as Mount Everest.Typically, millisecond pulsars are a billion years or more old, ages commensurate with a stellar lifetime. But in the Nov. 3 issue of Science, the Fermi team reveals a bright, energetic millisecond pulsar only 25 million years old.The object, named PSR J1823—3021A, lies within NGC 6624, a spherical assemblage of ancient stars called a globular cluster, one of about 160 similar objects that orbit our galaxy. The cluster is about 10 billion years old and lies about 27,000 light-years away toward the constellation Sagittarius.\"With this new batch of pulsars, Fermi now has detected more than 100, which is an exciting milestone when you consider that before Fermi's launch only seven of them were known to emit gamma rays,\" said Pablo Saz Parkinson, an astrophysicist at the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, University of California Santa Cruz. || ", "hits": 145 }, { "id": 10842, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10842/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2011-10-10T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Earth Science Week 2011", "description": "This year's Earth Science Week theme is \"Our Ever-changing Earth.\" These short introductory videos are designed to give educators a brief tour of what resources NASA has to offer.

Download the Magic Planet-ready movie file here.Released on March 27, 2009, FROZEN is NASA's second major production for the Science On a Sphere platform, a novel cinema-in-the-round technology developed by the Space Agency's sibling NOAA. Viewers see the Earth suspended in darkness as if it were floating in space. Moving across the planet's face, viewers see the undulating wisps of clouds, the ephemeral sweep of fallen snow, the churning crash of shifting ice, and more.FROZEN brings the Earth alive. Turning in space, the sphere becomes a portal onto a virtual planet, complete with churning, swirling depictions of huge natural forces moving below. FROZEN features the global cryosphere, those places on Earth where the temperature doesn't generally rise above water's freezing point. As one of the most directly observable climate gauges, the changing cryosphere serves as a proxy for larger themes.But just as thrilling as this unusual—and unusually realistic—look at the planet's structure and behavior is the sheer fun and fascination of looking at a spherically shaped movie. FROZEN bends the rules of cinema, revealing new ways to tell exciting, valuable stories of all kinds. The movie may be FROZEN, but the experience itself rockets along. || ", "hits": 57 } ] }
