Here's a vintage animation of the Mariner 10 Venus encounter. http://www.venus.wisc.edu/anim_mariner10.html
Very nice cloud rotation animations and processing (for its time) including movement centered on specific features. It's something that I always wanted to see and finally got to! -------------------- _______________________

the quality of the videotape is quite bad, but the video is fascinating.
makes me wonder how much computing time did it take to make these animations... |

Wow, video digitized from a U-Matic cassette!
That is practically antebellum technology. Seriously, though, it just underscores how important it is that archived data on older formats/media be 'regenerated' or transcribed as the cutting edge continues to advance. |
