Neo003 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Space Nerds Rejoice: A Crazy 3-D Tour of the Universe at Gizmodo Gallery Meet Carter Emmart. He has spectacular hair and an unbelievably cool job title: Director of Astrovisualization at the American Museum of Natural History. And on Wednesday night at 7pm, he's bringing his badass 3-D Atlas of the Universe to Gizmodo Gallery. Emmart's job is to take the latest discoveries about the universe and figure out how to show translate them into visions people can understand, using advanced imaging technologies and computational modeling. That's a mouthful. Some of the concepts tackled by Emmart and his team at the AMNH's Hayden Planatarium tackle are immensely complicated. They need to find a way to explain it to the average joe while retaining rigorous accuracy. So on Wednesday night Gizmodo Gallery we're going to plug Emmart's huge map into the massive 80-inch LED Screen in our home theater, and Emmart is going to drop some knowledge on us. And on you, too, if you know what's good for you. Link: Gizmodo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
