A Photon's Journey from the Sun to Your Eye

A 20-second science short about a photon born in the Sun's core that bounces around for up to 170,000 years before escaping, then takes 8 min 19 s to reach Earth — passing Mercury and Venus at their real light travel times — before finally entering your pupil. Built in Remotion, drawn entirely in code with no assets, and scored by a Node script that synthesises music from the same bounce data, so every bounce you see is a click you hear. Perfect for astronomy explainer shorts.
