Science On a Sphere (SOS)
This mesmerizing visualization system developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) uses computers and video projectors to display animated data on the outside of a suspended, 6-foot diameter, white sphere. Four strategically placed projectors work in unison to coat the sphere with data such as '3-D surface of the earth and Nighttime Lights,' 'moon and Mars' and 'X-Ray Sun.' Maurice Henderson and system administrators, Pankaj Jaiswal and Kevin Miller, have contributed their time and expertise to the deployment of Science on a Sphere at Goddard's Visitor Center.
