Across The Universe

Story by Patrick Lynch and Kayvon Sharghi Released on March 13, 2012

The NASA Visualization Explorer app is broadening its scope to highlight the astonishing findings and features of the universe beamed back to our planet from NASA's entire fleet of satellites, spacecraft and space telescopes. Expect to see more fascinating views of the sun and planets, along with stunning shots of distant galaxies and star clusters located light-years away, such as the one above captured by the legendary Hubble Space Telescope. Look forward to even more world premiere visualizations and animations, including never-before-seen footage of Earth, as NASA continues to explore our home planet and beyond. Excited? We are too! Check out the media gallery below for a sneak peek at what's to come.

Creating masterpieces: Scientific Visualization Studio Director Horace Mitchell leads the development of new visualizations featured on the app.
