A few months ago I shared a glorious video made entirely out of photographs of Saturn. If you don't remember it, well that's probably because you don't 'Like' Brad Blogspeed on Facebook yet! Sometimes I share content through that avenue only, so if you haven't signed up yet, well, why not?
But have no fear. Today I'm pairing that video with another, packaging them all up, and slapping a shiny new bow on it for you. Both of the following videos are beautiful, and both share a similar genesis. In each case real Cassini probe photos were strung together into moving pictures. I'll post details for each video below the clip themselves. The aforementioned video from a few months back is posted second. (at bottom)
Enjoy!
Cassini Mission

More from Chris:
I truly enjoy outer space. It's absolutely amazing that we now have the ability to send instruments out into the void of the universe to observe all sorts of interesting things. Asteroids! Moons! Planets! Dark matter! This is the perfect opportunity for a Carl Sagan quote:
"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."
The footage in this little film was captured by the hardworking men and women at NASA with the Cassini Imaging Science System. If you're interested in learning more about Cassini and the on-going Cassini Solstice Mission, check it out at NASA's website:

5.6k Saturn Cassini Photographic Animation

More from Stephen:
Not-for-profit animated IMAX film in early production by a single filmmaker. Visit the site to make a tax-deductible contribution to support the film. I hope to present this clip at the international IMAX show (GSCA Expo) next month.
I'm very excited to present the first test from "Outside In" that actually represents real footage in progress from the film. Camera moves are still being tweaked and this is cropped version as IMAX-sized stuff does not play well online. But thanks to the new version of Adobe After Effects, "Outside In" can be made as I have always envisioned.
Much thanks to everyone who has supported and contributed to this. This is the beginning, just a taste of incredible things to come.
This is fly-through of this photograph - photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/?catalog/?PIA11141 - only a little brightness and contrast has been made to balance the moons with saturn's body. Do note that several thousand layers of many Cassini photographs were animated to make the fly-through work without any 3D CGI. The saturation is off due to lack of Flash Player ICM support.
This is still a work-in-progress and it's an art film, not a science film, but as new image data comes down I will tweak this shot for improved accuracy.
