This Picture Was Taken 24 Miles In the Air
With A Crappy Camera Attached To A Balloon
What
do you get when you combine a styrofoam box, duct tape, orange paint, a weather
balloon, and 2 old Canon cameras? Apparently, images that look like they're
from NASA.
The Pacific Star II Project was conceived by Colin Rich. He set up
2 cameras, insulated them in a styrofoam box and attached the box to a weather
balloon. The cameras were programmed to take 3 pictures every 3 minutes and
then shoot a minute of video and this video is what came out of it.
Some people say the best camera is the one
that's with you, I guess we should also include the camera that's 125,000 feet
up in the air, as well.
