Magnetosphere was born of some experiments in Processing that Barbarian Robert Hodgin (of Flight404 fame) was conducting on his experimental blog. We got a lot of positive feedback from the visualization style, and a lot of requests to "use this in our project." Too many, actually, for us to handle, so we figured we'd get the thing into a form that anyone could use.

Not the most efficient method, but it allows us to use the graphical goodness of Processing to explore ideas, utilizing the power of C++ to get it deploye
