The giant planets of the Solar System hold some of the greatest mysteries in science. Where does it rain diamonds? Which of the planets could float in a bathtub? Why does Jupiter have stripes? How do storms work in other atmospheres? We will explore these and many other questions in this program using OpenSpace software, a NASA-funded data visualization project to investigate the cosmos.
