Neptune (planet): Instamentary
Neptune was the first planet to be found through mathematical deduction, rather than by observation by telescope. (This video repeats itself starting at 05:05. Commercials that repeat are proven to make listeners remember details. This documentary attempts to soften that effect with new graphics and a unique ending.) Neptune was first observed by Galileo, but at that moment it was in retrograde (a temporary pause in the sky due to Earth’s rotation), so Galilei thought it was a star, and not a planet (‘πλάνης’, greek for “wanderer”). Neptune was named for Poseidon/Neptune, the Greco-Roman god of the sea, who bears a massive, unmistakable trident. Narration from Neptune’s Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org Soundtrack: Neptune Sector 6 by dj Böf, slowed down as if it were a 45 record playing on a 78 turntable. www.archive.org This is a demo of Instamentary, a program that creates an instant documentary.
