A History of the Sky: 126 Days

"A History of the Sky" is a time-lapse visualization of the sky for an entire year. See my project site: www.murphlab.com/hsky.

P.S. some of the more astute observers have already spotted my bad math! :-)

Ken Murphy's 'A History of the Sky' enables the viewer to appreciate the rhythms of weather, the lengthening and shortening of days, and other atmospheric events on an immediate aesthetic level: the clouds, fog, wind, and rain form a rich visual texture, and sunrises and sunsets cascade across the screen.

An image of the sky is being captured every 10 seconds from a camera installed on the roof of the Exploratorium, on the edge of San Francisco Bay. The images collected over each 24-hour period are assembled into a 6 minute movie.
