About the Work:

This project explores the mystery of asteroid 16 Psyche by turning three different magnetic field theories into abstract digital animations. Psyche is shown as a simple white silhouette, while particle effects represent the invisible forces around it. In one version, Psyche acts like a small magnetized planet, creating a structured shield against the solar wind. In another, a stronger magnetic field forms a bigger and more organized magnetosphere. The third version shows Psyche without its own magnetic field, but it still reacts to the solar wind because it’s made of conductive material. By animating these ideas in 2D, the project makes invisible space forces visible and shows how our understanding of Psyche changes depending on the scientific theory we use.
