    Planet Animations

    Rediscovered Astronomy releases animations of the planets in our solar system.

    Well, we are meeting our goal of releasing the animations of the planets in our solar system three months ahead of schedule.

    The animations of the main 8 planets have been uploaded. We will upload animations of smaller bodies and dwarf planets later. The animations were created in collaboration with J.J. Del Mar.

    For use and license please see each planet page. You can visit the animations main page here:

    Mars Realistic Animation

    Enjoy this awesome CGI display of Mars – We will be posting animations for all the planets in our solar system.

    The following animation was rendered using real NASA photos. It displays a 180° turn of the red planet. It also features realistic topography and atmosphere.

    Earth rotation animation was created by J.J. Del Mar for Rediscovered Astronomy. Enjoy this awesome CGI display of Earth’s rotation. We will be posting animations for all the planets in our solar system.

    Instead of using other animator’s method, I researched and studied to create my own method which has greatly improved the result. I will use my own method with enhanced textures to create more realistic animations. Rediscovered Astronomy will publish these animations of the Solar System in 2016.

  • Comet ISON Approach To Mars

    c/2012 S1 ISON Approach To Mars

    Comet ISON is racing towards the inner solar system. This is the comet astronomers had said back in 2012 it would become “brighter than the moon”.  October 1, 2013 is when ISON begins its close approach to Mars and from there to Earth on its first approach to our planet.

    We will see how the tail of the comet behaves if ISON survives its approach to SOL around November 27, 2013.

    For now, Mars and ISON appear towards the East early morning, that is, provided you have enough zooming power to get a glance of it.

    The following Celestia animation shows ISON’s approach to Mars. We are looking at both bodies at a distance of  ~.40 AU.

    Comet ISON – c2012 S1

    Comet ISON will approach the inner solar system late 2013. In early October 2013, ISON will be closer to Mars than it will ever be to Earth (?). Around November 27 of 2013, c2012 S1 will be orbiting around the sun and it will start its approach to Earth. Provided it is not altered by Sol, comet ISON will create a spectacular view. Some astronomers claim it will be as bright as the moon.
