Hubble Space Telescope: Image Deblurring with a Parallel Comptuer (2003)

Synopsis

This is the star system is known as R-Aquarii, this system is comprised of a hot star orbiting a mass losing giant star. Note: This visualization is demonstrating that data collected from cameras on satellites have flaws or problems and that those issues can be fixed using a mathematical technique called maximum entropy using a parallel computer system. Animator: Dave Pape (NASA). Narrator: J. Michael Hollis (NASA/GSFC). Scientist: J. Michael Hollis (NASA/GSFC), John E. Dorband (NASA/GSFC). Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: HST/FOC.
