Interactive Visualizations for Space and Sea
Neal Agarwal has created numerous interactive pages—one showcases the size of space and another that looks into the deep sea.
In the deep sea adventure, viewers are treated to a different handful of alien sea-dwellers that include everything from giant isopods to barreleye fish to squidworms. The deeper you go, the more surreal the creatures generally become! While the size of space shows just how large tge universe really is!
