Photo of the Day - Animated GIF Flyby of Saturn's Rings

Ryan Nance January 18, 2016

The rings of Saturn are only about 30 feet (10 meters) thick in most parts of the main rings, other parts however are often up to several kilometers thick. The rings are made of dusty ice, in the form of boulder-sized and smaller chunks that gently collide with each other as they orbit around Saturn. Saturn’s gravitational field constantly disrupts these ice chunks, keeping them spread out and preventing them from combining to form a moon.

Witty Animated GIFs with a Science Flavor from Hugo Germain

Ryan Nance March 31, 2014

An engineering student in France, Hugo Germain, uses After Effects or Cinema 4D to create this fun and funny sciency GIFs.

Germain:

“Each gif has its own story but mainly it’s a way for me to provide inspiration and make people question basic things we take for granted. I often wonder “What if this or that was different/existed ? What would that look like ?”. Being able to actually create an answer to that question is very exciting for me, and I guess that’s also what people like about it.”
