The above footage might look like CGI from a gray apocalyptic movie, but really it's NASA's newest way of analyzing rocket booster tests. The footage was taken with the High Dynamic Range Stereo X (HiDyRS-X) camera, which allows NASA to analyze rocket booster test fires in greater detail than ever before. Previous high-speed cameras used by NASA could only film in one exposure at a time, but the HiDyRS-X is capable of filming in multiple exposures at once and combining them into a high dynamic range video.

Just look at Orbital ATK's QM-2 rocket booster burn.
