My daughter and I made this 10 years ago for the NASA Space Apps Challenge and I notified a whole bunch of folk at NASA but never heard anything back. Laughably amateurish compared to this magnificent work but it was fun to make.
We actually started work on the next version - a tool that lets you mark begin/end photo frames from those incredible fly-bys and save them off as video but it's maybe not worth it now.
One of the first projects I when I was learning how to be a proper hacker by using curl (at least according to certain states) was from NASA images which I would then turn into timelapse videos as well. I used imagery from SOHO to watch the sun on a weekly basis with a cronjob that would run once a week and deliver a video.

Lots of interesting information in there, like how much water is getting used, and which direction all the panels are facing.
Never got around to create bespoke visualisations for all the different kinds of metrics, but having all that data in Grafana made it a lot easier to play around and get insights.
