Summary

Description
English: In December of 2019, Prof. Alyssa Goodman and graduate student Catherine Zucker, of Harvard University, visited the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to "see" the "Radcliffe Wave" on the planetarium dome. The pair were invited by Dr. Jackie Faherty, Senior Scientist & Educator at AMNH, after she, Goodman, and others from AMNH saw hints (at a June 2019 meeting at Schloss Dagstuhl) of how combining their groups' data and software tools could do on flat screens, and wondering how that would look on a giant curved dome screen. More information on the "Radcliffe Wave" will be released to the public in January 2020, when the paper about it (by Alves, Zucker, Goodman, Speagle, Meingast, Robitaille, Finkbeiner, Schlafly, and Green) is published in Nature. The key software tools running during the photo were OpenSpace, glue, and WorldWide Telescope.
