Students and researchers gather around a table with laptops showing data plots. A pumpkin and CosmicDS sign sit on the table, while red and orange visualizations are displayed on a screen in the Seamless Astronomy Lab.
A Halloween “trick” turned “treat”! Postdocs + graduate students joined CosmicDS at the Seamless Astronomy Lab to turn confusing visualizations into clear, accessible data stories. There was great conversation, and pizza.

The north east portion of the United States is shown under TEMPO data from October 10, 2025, at 9:29 AM.
Curious how energy choices impact air quality?
CosmicDS is building new TEMPO tools to explore real data on air, energy, and population—great for students + educators in climate science. Try TEMPO projects.cosmicds.cfa.harvard.edu/tempo-lite + stay tuned for the launch!
