A suggestion was made that I take a look at some of the Saturn moon orbital crystals so I did just that, but got a little distracted by my first one taking orbit data of Mimas and Enceladus (the two large inner moons of Saturn). This is what I came up with:
but then I simply rotated the image by 10 degress and saw an interesting motion effect totally being created by my brain. So I made a little movie taking the original image and rotating it through 180 degrees at 10 degree intervals. Doing this, I got this:
Please note that the gif movie above is NOT a representation of the motions of these moons along their orbits around Saturn, but rather is a kind of optical illusion. Rather, consider this an alternative perspective on how the moons are connected in space and time.
Hope you enjoy.
I like the illusion of depth and the movement effect on top of that is amazing.
