Image

    let stars = UIImageView().then {
        $0.contentMode = .scaleToFill
        $0.alpha = 1
        $0.image = UIImage(named: "stars")
        $0.alpha = 0.4
    }

Rotation

    private func rotateImageView() {
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 240, delay: 0, options: UIView.AnimationOptions.curveLinear, animations: { () -> Void in
            self.stars.transform = self.stars.transform.rotated(by: .pi / 2)
        }) { (finished) -> Void in
            if finished {
                self.rotateImageView()
            }
        }
    }

Launch

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        rotateImageView()
    }

Perfect 👏
