OK, you clearly did not read the article because you are incorrect.
That statement you quote is referring to the still image in the article, below the video, which is of an entirely different star and system of planets (Fomahault b).
The video has a time legend /embedded in the movie/, at the bottom of the frame clearly showing when the observation for each frame of the video was taken.
NASA was being plenty up front here, I think you maybe just skimmed the article slightly too quickly.
- greeneggs 10y agoNo, he is correct. Eight of the frames in the animation are real observations. Between these eight frames, the other frames are interpolated.
- cmsmith 10y agoRead more carefully - HR8799 is the subject of the animation up top, and the subject of the quote about motion interpolation. Both are credited to J. Wang, while the composite photo of Fomahault B is credited elsewhere. Also note the use of the term 'animation', and that he refers to images taken since 2009 (whereas the Fomahault B images start in 2004).
