Home from Above: 47 minutes of 4K ISS Timelapse
Ғылым және технология
In 4K. Of course. Lights down + music up and enjoy the journey. A tour of our planet from 400km up as seen and photographed by the astronauts aboard the ISS. Of all the ISS Timelapse videos, this is ... one of them. It's also the longest, I think, for now.
Alternate Title: International Stellardrone Station :)

Despite this video being made from just under 85,000 individual images taken from the above site, it's still only a fraction of the total number of images taken of Earth by the ISS Astronauts. Seriously, what an incredible resource to have available for anyone to access and use.

my mind is blown.. this is the most beautiful view of earth and space ever!!! imagine the view of SPACE there, all the stars, nebulas and galaxies! 13:50 look at the orion nebula
This is so beautiful. I never realized the aurora looked so bright from the ISS. Thanks for putting this together! If I could set this as my desktop picture (like a desktop video) I would never work again. :)

There's a bit of camera trickery going on. The aurora and the night lights would still look stunning to the naked eye, but they would appear a lot fainter.

Photos and footage from NASA are all public domain and so not covered by copyright. However, ESA footage from ISS is copyrighted and can't be used. All the photos from this video can be downloaded from eol.jsc.nasa.gov/BeyondThePhotography/CrewEarthObservationsVideos If you wanted to make a video of your own you might want to just download my video or buy a copy from my 'shop' to get the higher-quality source video (see link in description) since I put a lot of work into noise-reducing the source images, adjusting levels, and fixing numerous image defects (dirty sensors/lenses, etc) in the 4k source. I think NASA's 1080p videos available on the above-linked page have most of that stuff done to it as well, but not the 4k+ source images.

Good question! Here is (one of) the source photos: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=ISS038&roll=E&frame=37941 The Lat/Long shown on that page are 6.2° N, 100.3° E which I looked up on Google Maps, and once you get your bearings, it looks like all those green lights are within the Gulf of Thailand (the brightest concentration of white/city lights is Bangkok). Googling that, I found this explanation: www.universetoday.com/113997/what-are-these-mysterious-green-lights-photographed-from-the-space-station/ Basically, fishing boats use huge green LED arrays to attract squid and the plankton they feed on.

Why are the clouds not moving?
@daveachuk
4 жыл бұрын
The ISS orbits the earth every 92 minutes. Even with the super-wide angle (fisheye) shots on here, you can only really see about 1/4 of the circumference of the earth, and most shots are less than half of that. That means the longest you can see any point on the surface of the earth (or cloud above the surface) in these timelapse shots is about 12 minutes, which is not long enough to see any noticeable changes.

why are the clouds stationery?
@daveachuk
7 жыл бұрын
Because the ISS orbits the Earth every 92 minutes, so in the time it takes to pass a certain cloud in this timelapse, it might only be 5-10 minutes. Clouds don't change shape much in 5 minutes, at least not enough to be noticeable from 300+km away.

Most of the timelapses taken by the astronauts (that is what I used for source footage) are used at their full length and played back as slow as I could and still get a smooth result. A 5 minute long timelapse at 5 seconds a frame would take about 12 hours of shooting! Not quite practical.
Nice. Its moving to fast. Try slowing it down to near real time.

I made another comment about this, but the images are taken at a rate of one picture per second, or sometimes as little as one picture every 15 seconds. If you played them back 'real time' it would be a very jerky slideshow. I simply combined the frames together and played them back at 30 frames/second. So there was nothing that was actually sped up -- you could play them back slower but it wouldn't be smooth at all.

Thanks! I know, there are lots of shots that I wish were slower too. The shot starting at 21:00 is actually slowed down by 4x, but it took a lot of work to make it look not jerky, and even then it was only possible because it was looking mostly straight down. Slowing down other videos is possible but would have required writing some custom software to do it and I ran out of ambition to do that :)

Lots more of them too elsewhere if you look closely! They are LEO (low earth orbit) satellites which are reflecting moon or sunlight back at the camera from their solar panels or other shiny bits. You can see the same phenomenon from the surface of the planet, Google "Iridium Flares" and you can find apps and websites that will tell you where and when to look to see glints of sun reflected off satellites, usually within a couple hours of sunset or sunrise. The ISS itself can also be seen and tracked with the same apps-- it's easy to see when it is still high enough to catch sunlight even though from below you're in total darkness.

This isn't actually sped up, well sorta, it's created from individual frames taken by the astronauts and played back at 30fps. There is too little light at nighttime to take video, and many of those frames have exposure times of 5 seconds or more, meaning if you played them back "realtime" it would look more like a slideshow than a video. That's what timelapses are all about! :)
