Step into a world of science like never before with Science On a Sphere (SOS.This giant animated globe appears to float in mid-air, rotating just like Earth, offering a breathtaking, real-time display of our planet and beyond.
Watch as the oceans swirl with currents, tropical rainforests breathe with life, and weather systems unfold before your eyes. Explore realistic images of Earth's continents and oceans, just as seen from space. You’ll even catch mesmerizing views of the Moon, Jupiter, Mars, and more celestial wonders.
Book your visit today and get ready to be amazed by the wonders of our planet and beyond with Science On a Sphere!
How does the Earth look from outer space? Have you ever seen the earth from the space?
It is a luminous globe about 6 ft. in diameter suspended from the ceiling. The surface of which allows projected moving images to wrap around it. There are more than 500 datasets used by the system out of which around 50 are real time. The datasets in the system are obtained from the satellites and are constantly updated to present the latest atmospheric status on Earth.
The installed system draws its data collected by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) & National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) of USA from a band of satellites moving above our planet. The data thus collected is converted into images and are wrapped over the sphere in quick succession thereby generating a feel of real dynamic Earth system. In fact, why only Earth, it can also display the surface of the Sun, Moon, planets or the celestial globe. This vast database is a storehouse of knowledge and the demonstrations attempt to propagate better understanding of our fragile planet. This digital visualization technology was originally developed by the NOAA as a way to explore environmental data using new visualization techniques.
