We compile the Mt. Wilson Observatory towercam footage (stills taken 2 minutes apart).

time lapse footage from Aug 27th to Sept 6th

frame rate = 30 frames per second, thus 24 seconds = 1 day. We are greatly indebted to the UCLA Physics and Astronomy department for providing this time lapse feed over the internet. I simply wrote a computer program to continuously downloaded these images and have produced this time lapse movie.

produced by Roger L. Griffith (JPL/NASA)

music by Jake Johnston - Gypsy Lullaby

thank you UCLA for giving permission to use this footage
