Hear a lecture by Carter Emmart, director of Astrovisualization for production and education at the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History. He introduces an astounding software that serves as a 3-dimensional interactive atlas of the universe. A video demonstration plays as he explains what is being viewed. This video would be an inspiration to future astronomers, physical scientists, or computer software engineers.
