Scientific paper

Plasma particle dynamics can be difficult to understand, even for a professional. Creating animations that can be understood and appreciated by the general public are even more challenging. Missions that have "pretty pictures" are much easier to show to the public, whereas creating animations that show how charged particles behave in certain situations is difficult at best. Intrinsically three-dimensional processes such as particle drifts, rotating tilted dipole magnetic fields, charge exchange, and magnetic reconnection can be put into a domed space to put the viewer "into the scene". This allows the viewer to experience, not just see, the process. Examples of animations from our fulldome planetarium shows "IBEX: Search for the Educage of the Solar System", "Force 5" and "Saturn the Ring World 2" will be shown. If space permits, we will bring a portable dome and show these animations in a fulldome theater format.
