I am an astronomer and visualization specialist at Northwestern University. This channel hosts many of my creations. I hope that you enjoy them!
Some of these movies are screen-grabs showing the functionality of online interactives that I created (in D3 and WebGL). Please follow the links in the descriptions of each of those movies to find the live interactive versions.
You can find more information on the visualization page on my personal website : faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/aaron-geller/visuals.html
I also run an NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at Northwestern. As part of that program I host a yearly panel discussion on career paths in STEM, featuring a diverse group of professionals in a wide range of careers. Those videos are archived in this channel.

Firefly Visualization of Gaia DR3
zhlédnutí 309Před rokem
Firefly is an innovative open-source web application, developed by Aaron Geller and Alex Gurvich, for interactively exploring data and enabling scientific discovery in the growing landscape of big data. This movie shows a screen capture of an interactive visualization of (DR3) data from ESA’s Gaia satellite, which is currently mapping the sky locations and distances of billions of stars in our ...

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Discoveries Over Time
zhlédnutí 118Před 2 lety
This animation shows the increasing sample of gravitational wave sources, starting before LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA went online (with only electromagnetic, EM, sources) and then moving through the three main data releases that are now available (GTWC-1, GWTC-2.1, and GWTC-3). Watch as the sample of merging black holes and neutron stars has dramatically increased over the past few years, with the results...

Changing Glacier Levels from the Vostok Ice Core and Beyond
zhlédnutí 251Před 3 lety
The Earth has gone through cycles of temperature fluctuations over it's history that are tied to CO2 levels in the atmosphere. The oldest data that tracks the CO2 in the atmosphere come from the ice core samples taken from Vostok, Russia. This visualization shows the atmospheric CO2 level from 400,550 BCE until today. The line on the bottom of the movie shows this in graphical form, and a highe...
Early Venus Visualized
zhlédnutí 127Před 3 lety
It is possible Venus had liquid water on its surface and a thinner atmosphere shortly after our Solar System formed. This visualization imagines Venus at this early stage and follows it through billions of years in time until today. Alongside Venus is the Sun, which also changes over time. During these billions of years, Venus went through a runaway greenhouse event that boiled off all of it's ...
Changing Earth Ice Levels from GRACE
zhlédnutí 26Před 3 lety
The NASA GRACE satellite measures local gravity on Earth and can be used to track changes to the ice levels. This visualization shows Earth ice levels changing over time from 2003 until 2017. The most noticeable changes during this time period occur in Greenland and Antarctica. In the visualization, red areas denote decreasing ice levels while blue areas show increasing ice levels. This a scree...
Early Evolution of our Sun
zhlédnutí 80Před 3 lety
Shortly after the Sun was born, it was smaller, cooler and more yellow than it is today. This visualization shows the Sun starting at this early age and changing over billions of years until today. A cutaway shows the changes to the interior structure as well. The data for the Sun come from a MESA model that I generated. Changes to the Sun over such long timescales also impact Earth's climate. ...
