Each frame of this movie was made from drawings by Galileo Galilei drawn in 1612 (almost 400 years ago), each one done approximately at the same time on each consecutive day, showing sunspots on the slowly rotating Sun. I made this during the International Year of Astronomy 2009, which celebrated the 400 Anniversary of Galileo's first use of the telescope for Astronomy.

Keep looking up, Jason W. Higley.
