title: manipulating and animating an image on a matplotlib plot
body: <p>I'm using matplotlib to animate a planets movements around a star.
  I draw a simple small circle that represents the planet then i use funcanimation with an animate() function that changes the circles center each time, as is done on this website : <a href="https://nickcharlton.net/posts/drawing-animating-shapes-matplotlib.html" rel="nofollow">https://nickcharlton.net/posts/drawing-animating-shapes-matplotlib.html</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Now I'm trying to use an image file instead of a circle but I barely know how to draw the image on the plot and really don't see how i can make it move on it</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
