I would like to read in an animated GIF file, and get individual frames from it.
I would also like to display it as an animation on a Pluto notebook.

Actually, it works fine.
```julia
begin
let url = "https://mars.nasa.gov/system/downloadable_items/45785_3-PIA24340-NavCam-Left.gif"
filename = download(url)
global perseverance_wheel_turning = load(filename)
end
plot(perseverance_wheel_turning[:,:,1], xmirror=true, title="perseverance_wheel_turning")
end
```
