Tales from the Orbit: In Search of the Visual Truth

Data are becoming increasingly complex and voluminous, a trend that will continue
to grow as scientific research evolves. For unless we are up to the challenge to turn
data into meaningful content that permeates knowledge we have not completed our
quest for discovery. NASA’s Science Storytelling Team has been exploring the landscapes
of science communication, education and outreach through visualization. In our efforts
to explain to the public how complex phenomena work, we need to present the
relationships between collected and observed data and translate concepts to simple
relatable messages that are visually compelling and with scientific integrity. In this talk,
I will share the collective efforts of our team and recount some of the personal discoveries
experienced by scientific visualization practitioners during their course of work.

Contributors: William Bridgman, Kel Elkins, Leann Johnson, Joycelyn Jones, Alex Kekesi,
                      Michael Lentz, Michael McClare, LK Ward, Scott Wiessinger, Ernie Wright.
