Interpolated time-lapse of Aurora Australis, from space

Seán Doran stringed together time-lapse photos from the International Space Station and interpolated the frames in between to make a smooth high-resolution video.

5,234 images from 2 time-lapse sequences photographed by ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot & NASA astronaut Jessica Meir on ISS Expedition 74 are repaired, remastered & retimed. 33,946 additional frames are created to complete this 4x 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.
