Space.com (April 26) -- The new IMAX film “A Beautiful Planet” depicts Earth from an astronaut's-eye view, and it also painstakingly recreates the entire Milky Way in a realistic visualization. In a video, Donna Cox, the director of the Advanced Visualization Lab at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at Illinois, describes working with scientists to visualize their data and telescopic images cataloguing the universe.
