Satellite timelapse 4x (Orion)
The upper atmosphere is becoming a busy intersection of orbital mechanics. Capturing the traffic in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) reveals the sheer density of the artificial constellation currently enveloping the planet.
The visualization above utilizes frame stacking to plot the complete trajectory of these orbital assets. By compressing time into a single static frame, the invisible grid becomes visible—a synthetic web of light woven against the cosmic background.
I also processed the sequence into a timelapse with 4x temporal acceleration. This highlights the mechanical precision of the fleet, transforming the slow drift of satellites into a rapid stream of kinetic data moving across the exosphere.
Welcome to the era of the synthetic sky.
