Astro Movie links..

[OXO]

Thought it would be nice to have a thread were by we can post Links to Astronomical Movies like those found in the Vaults of Nasa!

To start it off here is a Link to (Rounding the Corner) from Nasa's Cassini-Huygens website!

Brief Description,

A movie sequence of Saturn's G ring over a full orbital revolution captures its single bright arc on the ring's inner edge.

The movie is composed of 70 individual narrow-angle camera images taken during a period of just over 20 hours while Cassini stared at the ring. The orbital period for particles in the center of the G ring is about 19.6 hours.

At the beginning of the sequence, the ring arc, a site of concentrated ring particles, is seen rounding the ring edge.

Full Description and Movie Seq can be found here http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/videos/video-details.cfm?videoID=134

Look forward to everyones input if you feel like it?
