Beneath the Surface is inspired by the science and technology of NASA’s Juno mission investigating Jupiter's origins and inner workings as a giant gas planet. Dan Goods, JPL's Visual Strategist, has created an interactive installation intended to help museum viewers experience the mystery of Juno's visit to a cloud-covered planet. Goods' installation consists of a large container of fog, which hides infrared lights. Infrared light is invisible to the naked eye, but is visible to most cell phone cameras. Just as the Juno mission uses special detectors to peer through the clouds of Jupiter and reveal the depths of its storms, the visitor can "see" lightening storms underneath this foggy surface.
