They have a camera that captures images at over a trillion times a second, fast enough to capture individual light particles traveling through space.
I don't think I have to explain how INCREDIBLY -blam!-ING AMAZING THIS IS.
Photographers may ask how you can get enough light when the exposure is less than a trillionth of a second. Basically they take multiple pictures of the exact same frame over and over again until enough light is captured to create an image. Pretty amazing stuff.

That's physically impossible. You cannot see light in transit unless it emits light of its own, which is impossible.

Edited by Prototape: 3/1/2015 6:36:25 AMThat's pretty damn cool. I really love stuff like this, it totally shifts your perspective on things that are otherwise pretty ordinary. In terms of light, you generally don't perceive it as particles traveling through/bouncing off objects. Too bad the sound wasn't working for me.

Holy crap. :o

This will make things awesome but only if it is not expensive. Imagine what NASA could do with this.

If only we had this technology in WWII Russia, we could have filmed our glorious victory over the fascist scum

Well that would take up like 999 terabytes of storage to store like a minute of that (No math just guessing) so good luck with that....

Uncle Putin is pleased. Mother Russia must now adopt this technology.
