20. Sun 360 Resources Press conference movies Handout (STEREO_allSun.pdf) 3D projection: Working with Science on a Sphere (SOS). 10 min cadence movies showing 195 and 304 Å. Please register any events with the Museum Alliance Media Events Press conference: Feb. 9 at 2:00 PM US Eastern Standard Time http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html?param=public http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html?param=public Twitter session for the public: Feb. 10, 1:30 -2:30 EST hashtag #sun360

21. “3D Sun” on iPhone “Solaris” on Android STEREO on a Smart Phone

22. What would people use/like? Flat screen movies showing rotating sun at particular time. Produce after press conference? Wavebands? Number of frames in revolution? Movie Format (frames, mpg, etc.)? Projected Maps – good for wrapping over spheres. SOS uses series of these to make movies. Smart phone apps use individual ones for their zoom & pan displays Anyone else want these? If you are interested in these please contact me, Terry.Kucera@nasa.gov
