Science On a Sphere® (SOS) is a room-sized, global display system that uses computers and video projectors to display planetary data onto a large-diameter sphere, creating a giant animated globe. The SOS at NOAA Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, is a model for testing new ideas in content creation, educational programming, and science communication.
