NCSA Visualizations Featured at Adler Planetarium

Data-driven visualizations created by NCSA’s Advanced Visualization Laboratory (AVL) will be featured in the Adler Planetarium’s new live show “Destination Solar System.” Opening May 16, the show takes visitors on a tour “from sizzling solar flares on the Sun to liquid methane lakes on Saturn’s moon.” “We didn’t just want to visit the planets, we wanted to show how dynamic the solar system is and how it has evolved over time,” said Mark Subbarao, director of the Adler’s Space Visualization Lab and co-producer of the show. “Partnering with AVL allowed us to transport our visitors 4.5 billion years in the past to see the solar system form and to the surface of the sun to witness its dramatic activity. All of these are visualizations of state-of-the-art computational simulations.” To read further, please visit http://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/ncsa-visualizations-featured-adler-planetarium/.
