Title Fires over Europe during 2001 and 2002
Abstract This animation shows fire activity over Europe from 8/21/2001 to 8/20/2002. The fires are shown as tiny particles with each particle depicting the site at which a fire was detected. Daily fires are displayed at a rate of 10 days per second. The fire particles fade over 1.7 seconds and change color as they age from red to orange, yellow and grey.

Title Terra/MODIS Rapid-Response Fires: Life of the Blue Complex Fire
Abstract Animation starts with the 8/13/01 true color MODIS image and then zooms down to the Blue Complex fire. It then cycles through the life of the Blue Complex fire starting on 8/13/01, ending on 8/18/01 (using false color data - bands: 1, 2, 3) when it was finally contained. Active fires are shown in orange and yellow. Burn scars are shown in black and gray.

Title Great Zoom out of Greenbelt, MD: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
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 ground.

Title Mission Proposal: Polar GOES-like spacecraft (riding the spacecraft - animated swaths)
Abstract This visualization was created to support a mission proposal led by Lars Peter Riishojgaard. This mission would fly a GOES-like spacecraft in a polar elliptical orbit around the Earth providing a large percentage of observing time for northen polar regions. This version of the visualization has the camera riding the orbit as the spacecraft would with a MODIS swath and GOES footprint animating. The MODIS swath is colored red, and the GOES footprint is colored light gray. This shows how this proposal would provide more continuos coverage of north polar regions than MODIS and GOES can provide.
