Visual computing can
let us see the invisible (and inaccessible or extremely complex).
|
|
For example, we can
now see formerly non-visual parameters such as wind flow direction and
velocity and temperature, all at once, in a scientific visualization system
of a wind tunnel. We can also view and work with single atoms and visually
analyze data from far reaches of the universe.

|
|
|
Not just the
instruments, but processing of the data that is important.

Firestorm of Star Birth Seen in a Local
Galaxy
View all images
|
|
This
festively colorful nebula, called NGC 604, is one of the largest known
seething cauldrons of star birth seen in a nearby galaxy. NGC 604 is similar
to familiar star-birth regions in our Milky Way galaxy, such as the Orion
Nebula, but it is vastly larger in extent and contains many more recently
formed stars. This monstrous star-birth region contains more than 200
brilliant blue stars within a cloud of glowing gases some 1,300 light-years
across, nearly 100 times the size of the Orion Nebula.
