Released this week, NASA‘s “Paint by Particle” video above illustrates Earth’s aerosol movement (the suspension of airborne particles) from August 2006 to April 2007. Using mathematical experiments to move Earth forward and backward in time, researchers were able to capture how winds whip aerosols around the Earth. While the results are visually stunning, they also provide critical insight into how such tiny particles influence the entire planet’s climate.
