epic-seasons

This repository contains code to generate videos using the images taken by NASA's EPIC:DSCOVR. This satellite is semi-stationary around L1 and regularly takes pictures of the Earth.

I built this application to observe the Earth's axis tilt as the seasons went by.

Installation

To install epic-seasons locally you will need to have Docker and docker-compose installed on your system.

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/subiabre/epic-seasons

Build the project:

cd epic-seasons
docker-compose build

Usage

There are 3 commands available:

  • frames:get - to download the images for a given timezone between two dates
  • frames:build - to build an mp4 file with the obtained images
  • frames:clear - to delete all the images downloaded

To launch these commands:

Enter the docker container:

bin/docker

Launch the commands:

# Make a video with photos for Europe/Berlin in 2020
bin/epic frames:get Europe/Berlin 2020-01-01 2021-01-01
