Für mich schon immer und wahrscheinlich auch bis zu meinem Ende noch faszinierend: Polarlichter. Schön sie von unten zu sehen, noch schöner aber von oben aus der Sicht der ISS und in HD. Seán Doran zeigt uns in „River of Light“ genau das in einer wahnsinnig schönen Zusammenstellung verschiedenster Aufnahmen.
Cosma creates Ultra High Definition video footage of planet Earth from space using ISS astronaut photography which is meticulously repaired, remastered and retimed for unprecedented high-fidelity spatial presence. Designed to educate, elicit awe and raise cosmic awareness, all of the films produced in this manner should be experienced on a large format display, along with a good sound system. The video footage contained in this film is independently produced, it is not created by NASA or sourced from any NASA server.
Imagery from 13 time-lapse sequences photographed by Samantha Cristoforetti, Shane Kimbrough, Megan McArthur & Thomas Pesquet on ISS Expeditions 65, 66 & 67 is repaired, remastered and retimed. Tens of thousands of additional frames are created to complete this 4x, 8x & 16x real time video footage. A method called frame interpolation is used to calculate the extra video frames required to re-create the smooth motion of ISS orbiting Earth.
