Images of Earth and Space II
June 30 - July 07

Title	:	Images of Earth and Space II
Description	:	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 Niño 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.
