1 of 2 | Comet Neowise, as the night sky appears…
View with alternate video source
Scene notes: Appearing to rotate, it is the Earth that spins. Comet Neowise passed by Earth in the summer of 2020. The comet’s tail is a fine contrail in the starry sky. Near the horizon, where it seems stationary in the rotating sky, the frame is enlarged using digital pan ‘n scan, a nineties term, meaning digital zoom. The extra resolution of the original images allows this. Meteorites can be observed in digital frames, as well as airplanes, zooming by in just a few frames.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):

Silhouetted hill side by a city suburb at night
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
What makes these scudding lower clouds so bright? Lights from nearby Walnut Creek impose their light from below on them, incandescent and brightest where the city itself is. The brightened clouds silhouette the trees of the hillside, as airplanes pass overhead rapidly. The sky has stars, and their number pales in comparison to the city lights in the landscape below on the lower-right of the frame. Now clip# NGT087.
