Out of curiosity, the video part way down ("White Drwarf System Animation Text") showing the dying star... how are these videos created? Is it done in something like Blender? The video credits Keck Observatory, do they have 3d artists on staff for this kind of thing? Do Astronomy grad students just learn how to create visualizations? What's the turnaround for getting something like this made because I'm assuming it was made for the press release.
- Gauntleteer 5y agoI work for the Keck Observatory (engineer). Far as I know we do not have any 3D animators on staff. We produce images from our science instruments for the astronomers to download and they all eventually end up here: https://www2.keck.hawaii.edu/koa/public/koa.php https://www2.keck.hawaii.edu/koa/public/koa.php
