"Solar Year" by JL

You've found a secret piece of art on this website created by JL!

This piece is called "Solar Year" and it is an SVG Animation, I created it purely with HTML code rendering SVG graphics in real time. This isn't a movie or photo. Artist Statement: Solar Year represents the fascinating, constant march of time through the universe. The planets rotate, at scale, proportional their own Solar Year. For example, the Earth sphere is scaled from 365.25 days per year to 36525ms to complete a rotation around the Sun sphere.

If you'd like to reproduce my art on your local computer, here's how:

`open a new TERMINAL`
mkdir SOLARYEAR
cd /SOLARYEAR
echo > SolarYearByJL.html

This will create an empty HTML file called SolarYearByJL.html in a folder called SOLARYEAR in the location of your choice.

• Now open the `*.html` file using TextEdit or Visual Studio Code.

• Copy the code snippet below by tapping the paper icon at the top-right

• Paste the code below into the `*.html` file.

• Hit Save.

• Navigate to the file on your computer.

• Double click it and open it in your browser.

• You will most likely see "Solar Year" by JL animating offline on your computer.

This is Version 1.2 of Solar Year, a special edition release by JL. Art is life!
