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

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

There are 3 commands available:
