NASA | Dynamic Earth

Показать описание

Watch Earth's magnetic shield protect the planet from a pelting by the solar wind. See how the sun's energy drives a remarkable planetary engine, the climate.

This video, originally created by NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio as part of a full-length planetarium film called "Dynamic Earth," was awarded first place in the video category in the 2013 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge, sponsored by the journal Science and the National Science Foundation.
While the full movie highlights many aspects of the Earth's complexity, the contribution from the SVS depicts the vast scale of the sun's influence on the Earth, from the flowing particles of the solar wind and the fury of coronal mass ejections to the winds and currents driven by the solar heating of the atmosphere and ocean.

The data visualization in this excerpt represents a high point in the Scientific Visualization Studio's work in recent years to show "flows" -- ocean currents, winds, the movement of glaciers. Using data from sophisticated NASA models, the studio's visualizers have figured out how to illustrate the velocities of these natural phenomena.
Dynamic Earth, produced and written by Thomas Lucas, has been shown around the world to an estimated viewership of 500,000.

This is just beautiful. Science is such a mesmerizing tale. Sometimes even better than fantasy.

I'm so grateful for earths atmosphere.

This took a lot of work. And dedication. Thank you!

so incredible in terms of education, visual, information, n astonishment. This video should be watched by every human being so that we as a mankind would always remember to take a great care of what Mother Earth has been doing - Protecting us. Now it's our turn to help her, not just simply cuz she's our home. But in order to co-exist in harmony, we must help one another. With the deceleration of LOVE

Everytime I watch a video like this I cant belive life on Earth is an accident, I more and more start to belive it was a purpose rather then an accident, the question is on what purpose.

It is amazingly visible to see the picture of satellite to make sure we understand what Scientists tried tell us “warnings in the future about solar flare etc.”

what attract me is the computer models. THEY are remarkable!

This is such an incredible representation! Great job!

Planet Earth is a masterpiece, you won't find anything like this in the whole Universe.

Nice video.. I never saw the this type of video,
thank u very much

So I couldn't really tell what the point of this video was. Most of them have a point. Per the description, it looks like they just wanted to show off that they'd connected some tools and made a visualization. They never said why that was a good idea... Sorry guys, but don't forget to include the motivation.
