moonPhase
Downloads all 8762 photos of the moon from a NASA website and uses them to create a fluid animation (click):
See here for an introduction/tutorial.
Usage
python moonphase.py
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t THINNING, --thinning THINNING
Frequency of images to download, e.g. every 10th image
-f, --ffmpeg Use ffmpeg to create video
If you are creating a gif via imageio then creating a .gif of 8761 images could take a long time and create a >100Mb file. Try using a smaller number of images with the -t flag:
Eg. use every 20th image:
python moonphase.py -t 20
If you are on a unix OS and have ffmpeg installed then you can compile an .mp4 instead of a .gif:
python moonphase.py -f
