How come both videos only go up to 2022 or so? Did we stop watching this star? Or is there just a delay on releasing the data?
replyI’m curious what that blight red smoke flickering around the star is. Some kind of interplanatory gas?
replyI think it might just be diffraction artifacts animated by the interpolation (I hereby invoke cunnignhams law)
replyThat’s right. We only have images take every year or so, so I did a motion interpolation between the images using Keplers laws. Diffraction close in gets pulled around by the interpolation.

replyomg both animations are gorgeous; those far out orbits sure take a long time to complete
