We plan to update and improve these animations, so please note the "Last Modified" dates of the media files.

Please feel free to share the link to the signup list and to the low-resolution previews.  Please do NOT distribute the high-resolution links because I do want to keep track of which institutions use the animations, for metrics purposes.  (These are funded by NASA so we are giving the clips away free BUT we need to show usage metrics to keep getting more funding for more future clips!!)



RULES OF THE ROAD FOR USING THESE CLIPS
---------------------------------------
You may freely use one or more of these clips in a show that you make for your own theater.  You may charge for tickets for the show you create.  You may share your show with other institutions but only if you do not charge them for it AND if you provide us the contact information for those other institutions (and a copy of the show for our archive - we will not distribute it without your permission).  If you wish to make a full show to be distributed for a fee, you must work with us.   We  would like to have links to your show web pages and an estimated number of visitors who see these clips between now and August 21.

We would especially want to get a rough estimate of the number of people who have seen these animations over this year.
