Where to find videos of Planets?

[Henry]

Have you seen the planet visualizer for the PS3? Slow, dramatic pans of planets. That's what I'm talking about. I'm looking to build a collection of as many as I can, slap on some delicious classical music, and throw it in my DVD player whenever I *ahem* self medicate as opposed to having the 3D renders be the backdrop. They're nice, but hey, I just saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. I need me some planets.

Oh yeah, onto the question. Does anyone know of any repositories or anything of the sort? Thanks a bunch! Of course I'll upload it onto the internets for you guys for your own enjoyment, as it'd be a great thing to relax to regardless of what you're doing.

Thanks! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

P.S. Oh, and when I say planets I also mean any celestial body. mmmmm

I got a 30 min visualization of pluto, but since it's not a planet anymore I wont bother hosting it.

Can't you grab a bunch of images from nasa or google and pan the fuck out of them?

[Henry]

I always find a video puts me in a state of more awe

[tasty-man]

I've always wanted a really high quality picture of Sirius

[Chunk3ym4n]

I always wanted a video of the planets rotating such as this.

Huuuur huuuur hurrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ironically, I just finished watching that.

[Henry]

This is seriously so much harder than I thought it'd be on my own searching. I would have thought there would have been a database somewhere with all the low earth orbit videos from Planet Earth at the very least :O

[Uberslug]

They're kind of far away. Getting photographs of them is hard enough. Since they're so dark and moving it'd be hard to take video of them

Please do include the visualization, as Pluto is still a planet. Only four percent of the IAU voted on this controversial resolution, and most are not planetary scientists. Their decision was opposed by hundreds of professional astronomers in a formal petition led by Dr. Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto. Please don't blindly accept one interpretation--the IAU decision--as fact when it represents only one side in an ongoing debate.

I agree with their decision. If you actually look at the facts you'll see that not only is Pluto smaller than the moon Titan, it has a moon half the size of itself that almost makes it a double planet and it has a very eccentric orbit relative to the rest of our solar system.
