Science Fact Meets Science Fiction

23 July 2009 11:26 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

At a Comic-Con panel today, Dr. Harry Kloor — who holds doctorate degrees in physics and chemistry — updated the audience on his animated project Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey.

The 3D, CGI animated film releases in large format theaters in February 2010. It includes footage of planets and moons such as Venus, Mercury, Mars and Titan that is based on real radar data provided by the Cassini-Huygens satellite.

The project started at Nasa around 1997, Kloor explained, but it had to wait until 2008 for the satellite to provide the required information.

At that time, Kloor said, scientists were asking why protons and electrons are able to accelerate away from the Sun. Kloor had an idea about how that could happen, and included his explanation — that the particles actually surf on the solar winds — in his script for the film.

Two years later Nasa published a study confirming that protons are able to accelerate by surfing solar winds. »
