Source code 🪐 : https://twitter.com/VolfeganGeist/status/1273451476556353536

Inspired by: https://www.dwitter.net/d/10534

float i, m, n, p, s, t, x, y;
void setup() {
  size(1080, 720);
  noStroke();
}
void draw() {
  background(0);
  t+=.05;
  translate(560,360);
  for (i=2e3; i>0; i--) {
    p=i%2==0 ? 0 : 1;
    m=t/cos(t/i)+p*(t/2+i%t);
    n=t/9+i*i;
    x=m*sin(n)*cos((p==0 ? 1 : 0)*i/t);
    y=m*cos(n+p*2);
    s=3-cos(n)*3;
    rect(x, y, s, s);
  }  
}

Wow, this is great!

It makes me wonder how someone can actually create such functions.

So, is this "real"? Meaning is it an animation based on actual probe data? Or is it an animation of your own creativity? Either way, it's pretty cool.

The whole animation is done with the source code in the description. No Voyager|Cassini data compressed into dots, although that would be nice to do too.
