At the Exploratorium, it pays to slow down. Here you can see the subtle, mesmeric effects revealed by slow-motion observation of three iconic exhibits: Circling Wave Umbrella, in which spinning fabric forms pockets of swirling air; Rift Zone, a miniature geothermal landscape created by air bubbling through fine sand; and Vortex, a swirling vortex of water in a hydrodynamic dance with gravity.
This collection of individual programs tells a wide range of stories, reflecting the diverse interests of the Exploratorium community.
