science city has added yet another state-of-the-art facility called 'science on a sphere?, the first of its kind in the eastern part of the country. this room sized spherical projection system uses computers and video projectors to display planetary data onto a 1.80 meter diameter sphere, analogous to a giant animated globe. this is an effective educational tool to help illustrate earth's dynamic processes and associated science to people of all ages. animated images of earth's land, oceans and atmosphere can be simulated on the sphere to explain what are otherwise complex processes, in a way that is simultaneously intuitive and captivating. this system is expected to provide a platform for better understanding of complex environmental processes.
