A mesmerizing new visualization of ocean currents has been compared to the paintings of Van Gogh.

NASA used the space agency’s ocean model, ‘Perpetual Ocean 2’, to release a video.

‘Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean’ (ECCO) is a sequel to the popular first version from 2011—and the new visualization now shows currents not just at the water’s surface.

This is awesome

I am in the middle of a Van Gogh section of our homeschooling art curriculum- this is beautiful!
I am going to print maps out and have the kids add swirls to create Van Gogh inspired maps.

I am so glad you posted this again!
