SpaceX has little to do with the main topic of this blog, but if we look at it from the lens of a camera and how it is capable of taking a time-lapse to keep that marvel of technology forever which is surprising us all, we can leave a little space to show those snapshots.
On December 22, XpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was launched from a base near Santa Barbara, California. This fact turned the California sky into a light show which many were able to attend. Many surely said it would be a UFO or alien ship, but in reality it is a human technological contraption that is opening other horizons in the space race.
Jesse Watson launched a series of incredible photographs to make up the time-lapse of the rocket launch and was able to capture the smoke strands that traced their way out of the ground.
Watson used Google Maps to find the perfect location for the shot. Two hours before launch, Watson was able to shoot shots for 45 minutes to have all the footage needed to create a time-lapse that will leave us dumbfounded.
He used four different cameras to capture different angles of time-lapse. Total used 1.315 images of the 2.452 shot to create an artistic 6K time-lapse of the rocket launch. So he documented one of the steps in space research so that one day humans can land on the planet Mars.
The time-lapse shows the halo left by the rocket in its run to get out of sight and thus become another of the tests that the space agency SpaceX is carrying out with the stated objective that one day we can make trips to Mars as if we were going to London or New York.
