Nice 'video' of Cassini fly-by of Saturn on APOD today - not CGI but actual images compiled into a flyby.

Video of Saturn fly-by
Commander Smivs, the friendliest Gourd this side of Riedquat.
Re: Video of Saturn fly-by
Very nice, but that video technology takes an inordinate amount of CPU, so unfortunately I only saw it at a frame or two per seconds.
Why the bleep do modern web-embedded videos take so much CPU? Ok, so even my 'new' laptop isn't the most modern anymore, but my ancient laptop used to be able to play full-screen embedded videos fine a couple of years ago and it's significantly slower than the new one.
