For those who followed yesterday's press announcement by NSF about the
final discovery of gravitational waves 100 years after Einstein's
prediction:

The opening image for the press conference is based on an HDF5 dataset
produced in 1999, used by the LIGO consortium in many places.
The actual physical setup that produced those now detected gravitational
waves
was recently simulated, resulting in visualizations finished last week
that are
now spreading around everywhere:

Same as 1999, these new data are based on HDF5. These new ones were
as large as 450GB , consisting out of 937 time steps with 4096 datasets each
in various subgroups.
All these simulations and visualizations thereof have benefited greatly
from HDF5,
so just to give some credits here to the HDF group!
