APOD 1.6

September 27 2014
A Launch and a Landing

This picture appealed to me in two main ways. The first was that it was interesting yet unique. The second was that it was something that can be seen from somewhere on earth and can be easily seen. This picture is taken from cape canaveral, on the Atlantic coast. Four pictures were combined to make this one picture. It consists of small star trails and the path of a Falcon 9 rocket. The picture contains the rocket separating itself during its first stage separation. Then it ignites and continues out into the atmosphere. It also shows the rocket's first stage separation coming back down to earth. It ignited and then lands just off the coast.
