A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.
Because it’s cool.
Film editor Fabio di Donato has created several delightful videos from NASA's footage. This latest is from the Cassini satellite as it waltzed around the ringed planet. Donato chose to set it to a Shostakovich tune.
He explained his process to Vice's Motherboard:
It's a selection from more than 200,000 pictures (I'm counting 238,125 pictures, but the original number of pictures that Cassini had taken in those 8 years is a little bit more. I lost a few pictures during the conversion); the video itself is made of about 6,800 pictures.
