Description: Here's the finished video: youtu.be/se84vG6bzoA I'm taking a timelapse of a Foucault pendulum, in order to let you watch the world turn. This project is one of the ones that started off sounding like a great, easy idea, and over time I've realized that the reason no one has done it earlier is because it's actually extremely complicated. Anyway, I'm excited about how it is going. Now I just have a few thousand photos I need to turn into a video. Huge thanks to the University of Puget Sound for their help and for letting me literally camp out in one of their stairwells... And thanks for watching!

I'm not going to leave a link. Okay Byyyyye!
