there’s something about having that
one-on-one time with the son
you feel moved by it
you can go in and attempt to teach a
bunch of people high-level solar physics
or why they should care about science in
general but solarium in its simplicity
and its construction I think to
something greater than inform it
inspires people walk away wanting to
know more about what they just
experienced
there’s a nice loops happening right
honey’s like a little bit of sparkling
solarium is a large-scale digital art
installation and it uses footage from
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory to
create an immersive experience for the
viewer so when you’re viewing solarium
you’re seeing all kinds of really
amazing solar events like solar flares
and prominences you get to see active
regions doing their work and churning
and creating loops and sparks all of
these top four and image the bottom
right are all images from the Solar
Dynamics Observatory which is the
spacecraft that provides the data and
imagery for the Silurian exhibit the
images that you see in the solarium
exhibit are part of a set of cameras
that allow us to look at the Sun in ten
different wavelengths of light from the
visible all the way through ultraviolet
and extreme ultraviolet a lot of the
really interesting stuff that happens on
the Sun like solar flares and coronal
mass ejections is really visible in
these wavelengths of light that don’t
make it to the ground we get a stream of
information of zeros and ones that come
down and then once we get that we have
to decode it and turn it back into an
image we’ll take all this information to
our data visualizer and he’ll take all
of the data that SDO has sent down he’ll
find the parameters and he’ll code all
of that data into images for us and
he’ll produce thousands and thousands of
frames and each one of these frames is
actually quite large
it’s bigger than 4k for a TV it’s about
big enough to fill nine HD televisions
pretty hefty material
when people enter solarium we want
people to be able to experience the
really wonderful inspiring yet soothing
sense of calm you get when you’re
viewing this material in this way I’m
hoping that people will come and feel
the passion feel the excitement feel the
amazement and simply want to know more
about science and want it to be a part
of their life not to necessarily
understand all of the minutiae and sort
of the gory details you know but to
enjoy it and to look at images from sto
or anything and just be happy and
excited about that
