shared the timelapse last week<\/a> to her social media channels, which she captured on Day 139 of her mission during orbit 2155. <\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to finally share with you the timelapse of the most spectacular aurora (so far!) from the \u03b5psilon mission,\u201d Adenot says. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard not to give in to the magic of the moment while watching this ribbon of green light ripple and dance before our eyes.\u201d <\/p>\n
Adenot says that moments such as seeing the aurora lights \u201cnever get old\u201d and that when it happens, \u201cthe whole crew suddenly find themselves vying for a good spot at a window.\u201d <\/p>\n
Doran took Adenot\u2019s and Meir\u2019s footage \u2014 a total of 5,234 images \u2014 and \u201crepaired, remastered, and retimed\u201d them. <\/p>\n
\u201c33,946 additional frames are created to complete this 4x real time video footage,\u201d Doran explains. \u201cA method called frame interpolation is used to calculate the extra video frames required to re-create the smooth motion of ISS orbiting Earth.\u201d <\/p>\n
Doran says each sequence presents a unique set of challenges when attempting to upscale the footage to ultra high definition. <\/p>\n
\u201cRestoration requires manual repair of image artifacts such as hot pixels present on the camera\u2019s imaging sensor, dust on the camera\u2019s lens, dirt, and micro-meteor damage to the ISS cupola windows,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n
\u201cVisuals are enhanced by applying a denoising algorithm, correcting exposure offsets across the timelapse and adjusting contrast, brightness, and color grade.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cVisual artifacts that detract from the desired outcome are repaired. Intermediate sequences are produced to consolidate the restoration and remastering processes and to assist with the frame interpolation method used to produce the final video,\u201d he adds. <\/p>\n
Doran says that he upscales the videos to present the work done by astronauts onboard the ISS \u201cin the best possible light.\u201d Adding that his work is best viewed on a large screen with a good sound system. <\/p>\n
