Why yes, as a 3D data visualization tool, a digital planetarium can indeed become a unique scientific instrument of discovery.

having some fun with #vispy today!

Built out a mesh generator for general 3D ellipsoids, including the ability to set angular ranges. This let's you do things like plot just one hemisphere of an ellipsoid, or a subsection of an ellipsoid surface (as in the video here). Will write up a blog post soon and share the code, but this was fun :D

Or, just check out the detailed notebook on processing data to create an intermediate CSV that the inTRACKtive tools can port to the expected zarr format from this repo: https://github.com/data-exp-lab/inTRACKtive_yt_demo

Started work on a new PR to yt-napari to add some of yt's sample datasets to napari's Open Sample menu! Seems to be working, still some tests to write and some design decisions to be made... but here's a pretty video.

video: sample data is the GalaxyClusterMerger sample dataset for the #flash frontend.
