MSAI: AI Applications for Astrophysics Course Graphics

Project Details

This course is about how AI applications can be used to generate astro-physics data, with students who are not expected to have a background in astronomy. Typically, classes work with pre-curated data, so this class aims to teach students to compile data themselves using AI algorithms. The professors want to keep the focus for the course graphics on astronomy, however, and have emphasized that they would ideally like the typical nodes and lines to be replaced with icons of stars, planets, and galaxies, similar to the things that you can get in Mac Keynote’s shapes. In terms of animation, perhaps some sort of cosmic explosion would work well too.
