Travel Through Data From Space in New 3D Instagram Experiences
A new project provides special 3D “experiences” on Instagram using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes through augmented reality
In recent years, Instagram experiences (previously referred to as filters) of NASA mission control
the International Space Station, and the Perseverance Rover on Mars have allowed participants to virtually explore what NASA does.
This new set of Chandra Instagram filters joins this space-themed collection.
The new Instagram experiences are created from 3D models based on data collected by Chandra and other telescopes along with mathematical models.
These advancements in astronomy have paralleled the explosion of opportunities in virtual, extended
These Instagram experiences also include data sonifications of the celestial objects.
