I have an science/art video idea but I don't have time to make, so I'll share it here if someone else is interested:
What if we had a video sequence that displayed 180 galaxies one after another, similar to below (cred: edd.ifa.hawaii.edu/inclination/in…), but in 1° inclination increments
If a galaxy astronomer out there knows of a good table/database of galaxies which can be sorted by inclination, that would be a great first step: please let me know and I'll link it in this thread. I had a look around and didn't see much like that
Perfect! Galaxy expert @styrofoamplates just lent his expertise, that was fast!
Here's how to access the database that can sort galaxies by inclination (I suppose next step would be to find the galaxy images based on their names and download them, etc!)
This is the best side of Twitter right here
From the initial tweet, yeah! Something along these lines. Thanks @sonicspaceman
Creativity + science 💪
