The guys on the AstroViz mailing list are trying to convince "Lynnie" the spammer, who is offering duct cleaning services, to come and clean up the dust around Sag A*

My artist’s reconstruction of the star WOH G64, the first star outside our galaxy to be imaged in close-up. It is located at a staggering distance of over 160 000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud. #astronomy #astro #astroviz

Experimenting with navigating around a small wedge from the DESI data. Every point you see here is a galaxy with billions of stars... 🤯🔭

My #planetarium is ready for the upcoming #BetterKnowAnAsteroid holiday, April 20. The Lucy spacecraft will fly by a smallish main belt #asteroid named Donaldjohanson. For this #astroviz, I made full use of SPICE kernels to control the 3D model. Always happy to shine a light on #TeamAsteroid!

See the behind-the-scenes look at the production of a scientific visualization of the Pillars of Creation. It provides a peek into the science, image processing and development of 3D models using visible and infrared data from Hubble and Webb space telescopes. #AAS243

Mars is in! A little bit too saturated (I'm aware of it, I need to do some proper calibration of the source textures). But it looks pretty epic! skymap.rulkens.com/#focus=body-mars #astroviz 🔭

Also testing deep linking, so you can link directly!

Fin. (But for the curious, see alt text on the previous post's images for some observing caveats.)

If this reaches interested #planetarium folks, aside from the videos and images linked to here, all #astroviz was done in Digistar. I'm happy to share any scripts you'd find useful!

Which iconic Hubble/Webb target would you most like to see in 3D? Did you answer the Pillars of Creation? Good news! STScI is working on a 3D visualization. Check out this behind-the-scenes video trailer that drew gasps from a room full of astronomers today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slx9...

The Pillars of Creation in The Eagle Nebula: Making a 3D Visualization
**_The Pillars of Creation in The Eagle Nebula: Making a 3D Visualization_** A behind the scenes look at producing a scientific visualization of the famous Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula. The AstroViz Project of NASA's Universe of Learning is creating an exploration into the iconic Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula. This production reel provides a peek into the underlying science, the 2D image processing, and the development of 3D volumetric models of these star-forming wonders using visible and infrared data from the Hubble and Webb Space Telescopes.
