Title:
Great Zoom into Chicago, IL: The Adler Planetarium
Instrument:
IKONOS
Description:
Global View
Abstract:
Using data from different spacecraft and some powerful computer technology, visualizers at the Goddard Space Flight Center present you with a collection of American cities in a way you have never seen them before. Starting with our camera high above the Earth, we rush in towards the surface at what would be an impossible speed for any known vehicle. Passing though layers of atmosphere, the colors of our destinations shimmer with their own unique characteristics, and suddenly we find ourselves floating in virtual space just above the Adler Planetarium. The Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum in Chicago, Illinois was built in 1930 by philanthropist Max Adler. It is located on the shore of Lake Michigan near the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum of Natural History, and Soldier Field.
