Why do meteor showers happen? What was your hometown like when dinosaurs roamed Earth? We've built breathtaking 3D visualizations to answer all this and more. Come see and learn how to build your own science visualizations with open source.
What inspired you to make this project?:
A good visualization can make a complex topic much easier to understand for normal people and scientists alike. When we first started building visualizations we loved how they made the science come to life. We were inspired by seeing people learn and ask questions.
