This movie is produced from the IR2 2.26μm imaes. Original 4 images were acquired with 4 hour intervals from 07:03 UT. In 4 hours, the super-rotating clouds move by ~10 degrees. Such images are numerically derotated to produce intermediate images so that the resultant motion becomes smoother. (a distance of 0.36 million km from Venus)
