Time-Dependent Model: Last observed IPS sources
The display presents a Hammer-Aitoff (an equal area projection of the entire sky) or "Fisheye" (equal distances for equal solar elongation angles) projection of the sky as observed from Earth. The map represents a 'sweep of the sky' view of the meridian over Japan in a 24-hour period centered on local noon at (insert ut_noon here) as indicated at the top. The horizontal axis is the ecliptic plane. In the Hammer-Aitoff projection, the celestial equator is marked by a curved line. The position of the Sun is centered in the image. The circles indicate the location of the last IPS observations obtained. The color of each circle indicates its observed value. The size reflects the difference of the observations with the time-dependent, solar wind model last run at (insert t3d_time here). Areas where coverage is poor are left blank. The animations run in (insert movie time step here) steps from (insert begin movie here) before, to (insert end movie here) after the last time data were received.
