E-Motion Cone

E-Motion was designed by New York architect Shashi Caan and lighting designer Matthew Tanteri. Carnegie Science Center’s trademark weather cone was installed in 2000 with a computerized lighting system to display different colored lights on the cone based on forecasted weather.

WTAE-TV controls the color displayed on the E-Motion Cone, matching the color to the anticipated weather.

• Red lights indicate warmer weather
• Blue lights indicate cooler weather
• Green lights indicate no anticipated change
• Yellow lights warns rain/snow expected
