Astronomical data does not always use Cartesian coordinates. Both all-sky observational data and simulations of rotationally symmetric systems, such as accretion and protoplanetary disks, may use ...

Not every sample of data can be meaningfully plotted on a two-dimensional graph. MATLAB, a technical analysis software suite from MathWorks, allows you to plot publication-quality, three-dimensional ...

Without an ever present magnetic field to rely on, as compass users have on Earth, those of us responsible for spacecraft navigation must utilize a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, or ...
