Quarks to Quasars is an organization that seeks to promote scientific literacy. We work to ensure that all individuals (regardless of education, economic situation, or background) have access to the latest developments in scientific news and research. Our ultimate goal is to create a society in which all individuals are able to understand scientific issues and respond to them in an informed manner. In order to achieve this goal, we work with like-minded individuals and organizations in order to disseminate information to people from diverse backgrounds.
Chromoscope has been created using public-domain datasets from a number of all-sky astronomy projects. It lets you easily move around the sky and fade between wavelengths using a simple user-interface to illustrate the similarities and differences between what is visible at each wavelength.
There are currently seven included: gamma ray (Fermi), X-ray (ROSAT), H-alpha (WHAM), optical (DSS), infrared (IRAS), microwave (Planck) and radio (Haslam). You can click on the credit information, shown at the bottom-right of the Chromoscope screen, to learn more about each survey.
