That's not a video. It's still pictures, still great to see.
Video is, of course, just a series of still photographs taken in very quick succession. But, I agree, with a choppy video like this, the distinction may be worth highlighting.
Film is a series of still pictures - video is continuous.
It's definitely video. The angle changes, the smoke plume changes.
Look at the source: http://ear
its 3 or for images morphed or disolved as the station was passing over, because it's morphed, it gives the impression of movement,
It's cool because it's a huge frickin' volcano
It's cooler because it's shot from a spacestation
And Its even a little niftier because its technically enhanced
Video, still, who cares? It's a stunning image.
You're a clever one. I say the same thing at movie theaters all the time, and everyone thinks I'm mad.
That is freaking awesome!!
On a Russian Island?? I guess Sarah Palin saw it from her front porch though.
She's never there any more - unfortunat
That's amazing!
Let's hope the Super Volcano in Yellowstone don't let rip or global warming will be the least of our worries!
This is proof that global warming is a hoax. Don't ask me how, but I'm sure some wingnut will figure that out for us.
volcanoes are heat vents..
what you're witnessing is the globe cooling itself lol
Gia burps?
This wouldn't have happened if President Obama had spoken up more forcefully early on. He was probably at a Broadway show, or walking the dog with the girls, or (gasp) enjoying a sandwich with dijon mustard. Yet another tragedy occurs because of this do-nothing president and his failed policies on volcano monitoring.
what?
Why take something amazing, that new technology brings to millions and make it about human political crap?
Yuk - yuk!
Global warming is a misnomer; it is actual global climate change, which is what is happening in part to human emissions. We certainly aren't helping the situation. And really what is your big objection to changing our ways? Do you hate children?
I really hate children. That's why I drive a Hummer, and I leave a second one idling in my garage when I'm out driving my first one.
What part is our faultcause Proxxy11?
Awesome sight! Thanks for sharing, HuffPo!
That is so sweet!!!!
It is located in Russia, not in Japan, folks.
And Bobby Jindal says we don't need volcano monitoring here in the US?
He also thinks we don't need to spend more money on education in Louisiana. Probably because lack of education will be his biggest ally in getting to the Presidency in 2012.
Wow
Gee, wizz, emberoftruth, isn't all the old-fashioned "film" and "video" just a bunch of still frames all strung up together at different speeds and frequencies? Nice shot of a lot of hot stuff hitting the cold air...
Shhh! He/she thought they sounded really smart and authoritative. Don't ruin their day.
I dont mean to sound all crazy, but that cloud looked like a "mushroom" cloud. With N. Korea talking about testing it missiles should we believe our government on this?
I'm saying anything, but i'm just sayin...
Except you can see the pyroclastic flows
Every explosion that's big enough produces a mushroom cloud.
And everyone who boxes long enough ends up with cauliflower ears.
What's up with vegetables and violence?
Kewl.
At first I thought that was Rush's head. Then I woke up.
Reminded me of the line from"Day of the Locusts" from Dylan's "New Morning"
"The man standing next to me, his head was xploding.
I was prayin' the pieces wouldn't fall on me".
A great Independence day weekend to all.
LMAO.....g
Nature is incredible. It creates volcanic eruptions, and it creates organisms that build space stations with cameras from which volcanic eruptions can be dramatically captured.
