Explanation:
Kona, a young boxer, is a dog who loves splashing in the waves
along Solana Beach near San Diego,
planet Earth.
But he paused here, at least briefly, during an early evening romp
on October 7.
Along with two people friends he gazes skyward in
this
snapshot, dazzled by the
flight of a Falcon 9 rocket.
Their seaside view is of the sunlit exhaust plumes from
the rocket's first stage thrusters as it returns to
Vandenberg Air Force base,
its launch site over
250 miles to the north.
