Seeing Infrared: Visualizations Beyond the Visible
Abstract
The Spitzer Space Telescope represents the infrared segment of NASA's "Great Observatory" program. Working outside of the visible spectrum presents a set of challenges in clear communication of astronomical concepts, some of them unique to this powerful telescope. We present a number of case studies of challenges for press release visualization, including visual representation of infrared data, presenting spectra, producing meaningful artwork and illustrations, and approaching nonstandard image problems.
