How do I visualize and get more info about a snapshot from a Subbox?

I am student of INPE (National Institute for Spatial Research) from Brazil. I have just downloaded the snapshot 1000 from Ilustris1-subbox0 (link: http://www.illustris-project.org/data/downloads/Illustris-1-Subbox0/) to do some Data Mining work on it. So, please, is there a way to visualize these data? Beyond the info in Data Access section, are there any tips to better understand the data?

Thanks,

Paulo

Hi Paulo,

Do you mean visualize, or understand the data structure? For the second, I would start with

h5ls -r snapfile.0.hdf5
h5ls -rv snapfile.0.hdf5

on the command line, to see the HDF5 contents.

Hi Dylan,

Sorry for the vague question. I'm just getting started in astronomy datasets and Illustris. Thank you very much for the answer.
