  2. Space art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_art

    Trouvelot, The great nebula in Orion (1875).. Astronomical art is a genre of space art that focuses on visual representations of outer space.It encompasses various themes, including the space environment as a new frontier for humanity, depictions of alien worlds, representations of extreme phenomena like black holes, and artistic concepts inspired by astronomy.

  3. Visual space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_space

    Visual space is the experience of space by an aware observer. It is the subjective counterpart of the space of physical objects. It is the subjective counterpart of the space of physical objects. There is a long history in philosophy, and later psychology of writings describing visual space, and its relationship to the space of physical objects.

  4. Atmospheric optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_optics

    This temperature inversion is the opposite of what is normally the case; air is usually warmer close to the surface, and cooler higher up. In calm weather, a layer of significantly warmer air can rest over colder dense air, forming an atmospheric duct which acts like a refracting lens, producing a series of both inverted and erect images.

  5. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point. [6]

  6. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    3D projections use the primary qualities of an object's basic shape to create a map of points, that are then connected to one another to create a visual element. The result is a graphic that contains conceptual properties to interpret the figure or image as not actually flat (2D), but rather, as a solid object (3D) being viewed on a 2D display.

  7. Scientific visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_visualization

    A high-level representation of an image necessarily contains elements in a different domain from pixels. These elements are referred to as primitives. In a schematic drawing, for instance, line segments and curves might be primitives. In a graphical user interface, windows and buttons might be the primitives.

  8. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    In theoretical physics, a Feynman diagram is a pictorial representation of the mathematical expressions describing the behavior and interaction of subatomic particles. The scheme is named after American physicist Richard Feynman , who introduced the diagrams in 1948.

  9. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity.Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.
