Exhibit Now Open
The Tech Museum presents an amazing experience from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Imagine watching hurricanes form or
seeing the spread of an El Niño event over a globe almost 6 feet in
diameter. View from Space appeals to anyone who ever wanted to be an
astronaut!
See the beauty of the nightscape spread across the globe. Observe Earth like
you've never seen it before. This exhibit space allows you to observe
complex and detailed scientific information in an easily understandable,
visually stunning form. Stop by to enjoy the view and watch a presentation
about Earth.
Dr. Alexander MacDonald, of the NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, was a
Laureate of The Tech Museum Awards in 2003 for developing this visualization
system.
