Rocket Eclipse at Sunset
A Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, carrying Galileo navigation satellites into orbit. This image captures the moment the rocket's exhaust plume briefly eclipsed the setting Sun, creating a dramatic silhouette. The shockwaves visible around the rocket are caused by its supersonic ascent through the atmosphere. The booster later returned to Earth for a successful landing.
