Scientists at the American Museum of Natural Historyâs Science Bulletins program use data from satellites to generate HD visualizations. Harnessing the advanced graphics and processing power of the Mac, they render 3D animations from their scientific observations to bring the evidence of global change directly to the general public. Join them at an Apple Store, San Francisco, and Apple Store, North Michigan Avenue.
