Let’s share what we are working on using SunPy and then ask questions about posts to learn more. For example, here’s a screen-grab of a little animation I made of the Parker Solar Probe. The red point indicates a closest approach in the orbit, and then legend tells when that perihelion pass occurred. Of the two perihelia shown, the closer one is from P8…PSP is getting closer! ![Screen Shot 2021-06-25 at 12.25.44 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/openastronomy/original/1X/03962ac20587ab6217cfe64ecd9dac53956cfa72.jpeg) ---

Looks great. The animation did not get embedded onto the discourse but just the screenshot.
