Iron Mule Film Festival- The Eclipse
(Upcoming) October 2024. The animation film The Eclipse, from an astro-animation workshop at the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American Astronomical Society meeting in Texas, has been accepted to be screened at the "Iron Mule" film festival in NYC in early October. The "animators" were all research astrophysicists, using printouts from the first film of an eclipse made in 1900 as a basis. The music is from the Chromatics, an A Capella group at NASA.
