Remastered satellite footage of a 2008 super-typhoon

Mesmerizing 4K Video of Cat-5 Typhoon Sinlaku

The Sinlaku footage was originally captured by Japan’s Himawari-9 satellite in 2008. The remaster takes the source frames, upscales them, and corrects color for the curvature of the spinning eye. The eye holds steady; the rest of the storm rotates around it like a coiled spring. The kind of video that earns its “mesmerizing” adjective rather than the marketing one.
