The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Space Hardware Club is a student-run organization that provides over 300 students each year with real-world experience in all aspects of developing aerospace-related hardware, conducting research, and performing STEM community outreach.
This weather balloon was launched from the Stardust Golf & Country Club, just southwest of Johnson, Illinois (37.810490, -88.948948), carrying an insulated Insta360 camera. The balloon also carried a radiation detection payload, an atmospheric science payload, and a thruster control payload for eclipse research, all built by members the UAH Space Hardware Club.

[@StarShipWatcherGdub]

wow. I traveled to Herrin Park, IL from Minneapolis, MN , which by your coordinates in Google maps was 4.5 miles away from your launch site. Very cool!

[@andrewadams6473]

YESSS I DID THIS TOO

[@JaceDanielFilms]

Why isn't it hitting the firmament? Have I been lied to by the internet?

[@NintenDub]

😂

[@pdabaker3885]

Never went high enough

[@nunya_bizniz]

If there was a firmament (physical barrier), there would be pictures. Why can't we see it? Must be magic...🤣👎

[@SouthFLppg]

Sure does looks like a globe to me. 🙈

[@adelaidemarie]

Everything gopro films looks like a globe

[@jasoncates2944]

I'm sure those noises were explainable but it sounds like there are whales singing up there or something lol

[@endofage8495]

So if the firmament is truly a thing, waters would be above. I always thought it was interesting how rocket launches look like ur skipping a rock across a pond from a visual sense

чудесное могло быть видео,если бы не бесконечное головокружение..

[@BlueBeeVR204]

I was about a eat my booger while watching this

[@pdabaker3885]

Wtf was the point of this if you were gonna spin the dam thing around and not get the actual eclipse, you know its when the moon passes in front of the sun not just the dam shadow.

[@Mykst]

You're not serious are you? You think he's actually the one spinning the camera? It's doing that itself.

[@ShadowriverUB]

Shadow of moon is part of it, people go to air exacly for that. You know lunar eclipse is earth.shadow covering the moon and its facinates people too as it rare occasion

[@20083500HD]

jesus christ you are in the United states why can't you use Feet and Fahrenheit for units of measurements

[@PascaLM_]

Because the whole planet has chosen the metric system.
