This report addresses the core challenges of space physics popularization—such as abstract principles and low public accessibility—and explores an effective science-art integrated approach through the case of the Chinese Dual Auroral Radar Network. It introduces the network’s optimized dual-station layout, fundamental electromagnetic wave detection principle, and its critical scientific values in imaging the Earth's plasma circulation dynamics and revealing the energy transfer mechanisms of auroral electrons. The report shares practical experience of visualizing complex detection processes via vivid 3D animation and conveying scientific charm through stunning auroral images and engaging storytelling in science popularization videos. It also summarizes interdisciplinary collaboration modes between scientists and artists, aiming to provide a replicable model for the public outreach of large scientific facilities.
