Dynamic Earth: Beautiful video showcasing NASA’s data visualisation technology

Do you have a spare 4.5 minutes? Then I highly recommend you check out this video from NASA.

Focusing on the Earth’s magnetosphere and climate engine, the video follows a trail of energy that flows from the Sun into the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and biosphere - the three interacting systems that shape our climate.

It is based on real satellite data and computer simulations and is the result of two years of work drawing on the expertise of several collaborators.

Check out the full-length video and more here.
