The Mac helps bring science down to earth:

“Science Bulletins — high-definition visualizations that play on 12-foot video screens — help visitors to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York understand highly complex processes affecting the earth and its inhabitants, such as the retreat of Arctic Sea Ice, the erosion and recovery of the ozone layer, or the impact of changing seasons on plant growth worldwide. To create the Bulletins, the team at AMNH depend on an all-Mac production pipeline to process raw satellite and other data, transforming it into interactive 3D animations that let people watch the earth change right before their eyes.”
