Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai plume reconstruction

After two weeks of work I can finally share my 3D reconstruction of the gigantic ash cloud from the January 15 Hunga #Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai #eruption

Parts likely reached *close to 60km* according to my reconstruction, that's beyond the stratosphere and inside the mesosphere!🧵 pic.twitter.com/qMzPSjZj7P

Sarychev volcano animation Day 1

Did I ever mention how awesome telephoto video of Earth from Space is? In this one I assembled from images taken by @NASA Astronauts aboard @Space_Station you can see the explosive eruption of Sarychev Volcano back in 2009, sending a Plume of ash over 10km up in the Sky. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/U1G8cbfQVM

Here is another view of the 2009 eruption of Sarychev volcano in the Kuril Islands Chain, south of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Mont Blanc massiv photogrammetry from ISS images

Taking images from a plane is quite common for photogrammetric reconstructions. However, the images for this 3D model of the #Montblanc massif were photographed from a fair bit higher than that.@Astro_Sabot took them last month from @Space_Station more than 400km above ground!🧵 pic.twitter.com/GdLLdl2Eq6

Ingenuity Helicopter flight 9 animation

Here is a look back at the 9th Flight of #MarsHelicopter
It was the longest flight to date and took Ingenuity over a large dune-covered area called Séítah.
I reconstructed the flight path with photogrammetry from the helicopters NAV images and animated it in @Blender (2x speed) pic.twitter.com/BqZB2J6gsL

Mars 2020 landing dust devil discovery

A little while ago I spotted this Dust Devil in the LCAM images that @NASAPersevere captured during the landing phase on Sol 0.
It therefore is the first ever Dust Devil seen by the mission - before it even touched down. pic.twitter.com/CJMjgPRjhm

Fagradalsfjall volcano 3D model

Ever wondered what the area around the #Geldingadalir volcano looks like? Here you can see a rendering of the 3D model I made in collaboration with Snorri Þór Tryggvason.https://t.co/FuH13FmjEb pic.twitter.com/AO71BSc82c
