Bennu TAG Surface Change
Go to this pageThis visualization begins with a top-down view of a high resolution digital terrain model (DTM) of the Nightingale TAG sample site on Bennu. As the camera moves closer, data representing the surface height change pre-post TAG fades on. The surface height change as a result of the TAG event is represented by both a color map and by offsetting the original DTM to reveal the TAG crater. The DTM offset is applied to the surface region within ~7.5 meters of impact, which is highlighted for emphasis. With this color bar, yellows, greens, and blues represent a decrease in elevation, light red represents no change in elevation, and dark red represents an increase in elevation. Thruster marks and a region of ejected surface material are labeled. The camera does a 360 degree spin around the sample site before returning to a top-down view of the color-mapped data. || Bennu_TAG_surface_change.00600_print.jpg (1024x576) [233.4 KB] || Bennu_TAG_surface_change.00600_searchweb.png (320x180) [121.7 KB] || Bennu_TAG_surface_change.00600_thm.png (80x40) [8.2 KB] || Bennu_TAG_surface_change_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [76.5 MB] || Bennu_TAG_surface_change_2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [251.3 MB] || Bennu_TAG_surface_change_prores_2160p30.mov (3840x2160) [8.2 GB] || frames/3840x2160_16x9_30p/Bennu_TAG_surface_change/ (3840x2160) [256.0 KB] || Bennu_TAG_surface_change_print_still.00600.tif (3840x2160) [63.3 MB] || Bennu_TAG_surface_change_2160p30.webm (3840x2160) [31.0 MB] ||

Solar Dynamics Observatory - Argo view
Go to this pageArgos (or Argus Panoptes) was the 100-eyed giant in Greek mythology (wikipedia).While the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has significantly less than 100 eyes, (see "SDO Jewelbox: The Many Eyes of SDO"), seeing connections in the solar atmosphere through the many filters of SDO presents a number of interesting challenges. This visualization experiment illustrates a mechanism for highlighting these connections.The wavelengths presented are: 617.3nm optical light from SDO/HMI. From SDO/AIA we have 170nm (pink), then 160nm (green), 33.5nm (blue), 30.4nm (orange), 21.1nm (violet), 19.3nm (bronze), 17.1nm (gold), 13.1nm (aqua) and 9.4nm (green).We've locked the camera to rotate the view of the Sun so each wedge-shaped wavelength filter passes over a region of the Sun. As the features pass from one wavelength to the next, we can see dramatic differences in solar structures that appear in different wavelengths.Filaments extending off the limb of the Sun which are bright in 30.4 nanometers, appear dark in many other wavelengths.Sunspots which appear dark in optical wavelengths, are festooned with glowing ribbons in ultraviolet wavelengths.Small flares, invisible in optical wavelengths, are bright ribbons in ultraviolet wavelengths.If we compare the visible light limb of the Sun with the 170 nanometer filter on the left, with the visible light limb and the 9.4 nanometer filter on the right, we see that the 'edge' is at different heights. This effect is due to the different amounts of absorption, and emission, of the solar atmosphere in ultraviolet light.In far ultraviolet light, the photosphere is dark since the black-body spectrum at a temperature of 5700 Kelvin emits very little light in this wavelength. ||
Webb's Science Mission Begins: First Light Images
Go to this pageThe Cartwheel Galaxy, a rare ring galaxy once shrouded in dust and mystery, has been unveiled by the imaging capabilities of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy, which formed as a result of a collision between a large spiral galaxy and another smaller galaxy, not only retained a lot of its spiral character, but has also experienced massive changes throughout its structure. Webb’s high-precision instruments resolved individual stars and star-forming regions within the Cartwheel, and revealed the behavior of the black hole within its galactic center. These new details provide a renewed understanding of a galaxy in the midst of a slow transformation. || cartwheel_348_print.jpg (1024x576) [152.0 KB] || cartwheel_348.png (3840x2160) [9.1 MB] ||
