View from Space

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 Awards in 2003 for developing this visualization system.
