Clips and Resources

The LU and the ROG production teams are willing to share clips and resources with the community.  We are always interested in knowing how people are using our resources, so if you find any of this useful then feel free to reach out and let us know.

Flying through the International Space Station

Produced by:  Lund Universtiy Planetarium

In this five minute clip we start in orbit around the Earth and spot the ISS nearby, we fly closer and enter through the cupola, fly through the ISS and exit through a window to marvel att the entire ISS structure.  The model used here is the one included in Digital Sky Dark Matter from SkySkan

Globular Cluster orbits

Produced by:  Lund Universtiy Planetarium

Based on data from ESAs astrometric mission; Gaia, our colleagues here at Lund Observatory have simulated the time dependent positions of the Globular Clusters as they orbit around our galaxy. 

This has then been visualized by the Lund University Plaentarium using the Digital Sky Dark Matter software from Sky-Skan.  Text elements on the dome are in English and the length of the clilp is about 2 minutes.

Flying sequences

Produced by:  Lund Universtiy Planetarium

In this three minute clip we start outside the galaxy and slowly come closer and closer to Earth, finding our place in the galaxy.  The 3D elements have text in Swedish showing how far away from Earth we are.

The Table of Elements

Produced by:  Lund Universtiy Planetarium

  

The Lund University Planetarium has produced a sequence showing a 3D model of the table of elements.

Fulldome videos - Festive "rain"

Produced by:  The Royal Greenwich Observatory

The Royal Observatory Greenwich has us covered for Valentines day. In this one minute scene red and pink hearts float up from the horizon and disappear among the stars.

Length: 60 seconds

Is your national day aproaching? The Royal Observatory Greenwich has made a clip with falling flags, demonstrated in the preview file with the Swedish flags. Use blender to make a similar clip using your national flagg.

The Solar System

Produced by:  Lund University Planetarium

The Lund University Planetarium has produced this beautiful fly to Saturn (more planets coming soon), including a closeup of the ring system, a Cassini flyby and a visit to a to a number of its moons.
We like to run this sequence on the dome as the presenter talks about the planet, but in the future we may produce an audio track to accompany this piece.

This 10 minute clip was used as a background video for a presentation.  We see the Solar System in the background, the comet 67P, the Rosetta spacecraft and Jupiter among other things.

Looping background space videos (not fulldome)

Produced by:  Lund Universtiy Planetarium

Are you looking for a nice background for your zoom/teams meeting? 

Feel free to use any of these looping videos produced by the Lund University Planetarium. 

We have tried to keep the first and last frame of the video the same so they can loop indefinitely.
