Explanation:
Taken from an Atlantic beach, Cape Canaveral,
planet Earth,
four identically framed digital images are combined in this
night skyscape.
Slightly shifted short star trails dot the sky, but the
exposure times were adjusted to follow the flight
of a Falcon 9 rocket.
The September 21
launch delivered a Dragon X capsule filled with
supplies to the International Space Station.
Above the bright flare seen just after launch,
the rocket's first stage firing trails upward from the left.
After separation, the second stage burn begins near center with
the vehicle climbing toward low Earth orbit.
At the horizon, the flare near center records the re-ignition
and controlled descent of the
Falcon 9's first stage
to a soft splashdown off the coast.
