Scientific paper

Scientific visualization involves the presentation of interactive or animated digital images for interpretation of potentially huge quantities of observed or simulated data. Astronomy Visualization has been a tool used to convey astrophysical concepts and the data obtained to probe the cosmos. With the emergence of large astrophysical data archives, improvements in computational power and new technologies for the desktop, visualization of astronomical data is being considered as a new tool for exploration of data archives with a goal to enhance education and public understanding of science. We will present results of some exploratory work in the use of visualization technologies from the perspective of education and outreach. These tools are also being developed to facilitate scientists' use of such large data repositories as well.
