Introduction to the Digital Universe
The American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium has been pioneering the three-dimensional mapping of the cosmos since 1998. This groundbreaking cosmic cartography offers us a unique perspective on our position in the universe, fundamentally reshaping our perception of home.
The Atlas of the Cosmos
The Digital Universe synthesizes data from across the globe into an extensive and consistent atlas that harmonizes diverse datasets within their proper contexts. Spanning from our local solar neighborhood to the outermost reaches observable to us, it provides a comprehensive view of our universe.
Visualizing the Infinite with OpenSpace
OpenSpace, co-created by the American Museum of Natural History and Sweden's University of Link?ping, harnesses cutting-edge visualization techniques for broader public access. This open-source software enables interactive presentations of dynamic data from observations, simulations, and space mission planning and operations, requiring powerful hardware capabilities but is freely accessible.
