For Art Thursday, we have hypnotic, beautiful science. Animations of physics, specifically:
Lunar libration
Animated phenakistiscope disc - Running rats Fantascope
by Thomas Mann Baynes 1833
Ambigram of SAY YES, radial pattern (animation of motion, classical mechanics)
Animation representing the two-dimensional flow patterns behind a rounded obstacle, known as a Von Kármán vortex street
by Cesareo de La Rosa Siqueira
Anti-Twister
A set of 96 fibers are anchored both to the environment on one end and a rotating sphere on the other. The sphere can rotate continuously without the fibers becoming tangled.

These are fantastic, Tabatha. They are quite mesmerizing, especially the Anti-Twister. And I have this compulsion now to say "yes." :-)
That quote from Neil deGrasse Tyson will stick with me, too, I think.
This is a very creative post, Tabatha. Thanks for the visual joy!
