This was made by PyVoyager [1], an attempt at automating the process of generating movies from the 70k+ images the Voyagers returned.

The Voyagers didn't have accurate camera position information, so the images are haphazardly centered on their targets. PyVoyager attempts to center the images on the target when they are fully in view, though there are still jitters.

One of these days I'd like to pick it up again and complete the movies - the filters can be combined of course to make color movies, as here [2]. There are some more movies here [3].
