Simple Astronomy Animations

Simple Astronomy Animations#

A collection of astronomy animations produced for my intro astronomy classes. These are all written in python (using matplotlib) and the videos are rendered using FFmpeg.

Note

All the source code for these animations is available on github: zingale/astro_animations

Note

Videos are rendered with ffmpeg using:

ffmpeg -framerate 15 -f image2 -pattern_type glob -i "*.png" -vcodec mpeg4 -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart movie.mp4
