Dynamic Magnetic Field as animated images –> Magnetic Movie

June 3rd, 2008 Posted in Physics Talk

Magnetic fields are invisible, at least usually. But Scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory have made them visible as “animated photographs,” using sound-controlled CGI and 3D compositing. It makes the fields dance in an absolutely gorgeous movie called Magnetic Movie.

 

This is the best depiction of solar wind that I have seen.

This is just a visualization of the fields that were present in the space at the time of the filming.

The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries. All action takes place around NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries. Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers’ produced by fleeting electrons. Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?
