Alien Worlds - a photo on Flickriver

Alien Worlds

            This phenomenon was caused by rocket engine exhaust from a SpaceX Transporter-7 mission that launched on the Falcon 9 about three hours earlier in California.  Water vapor in the exhaust from the second stage engine freezes and catches high-altitude sunlight, effectively glowing and creating this spiral-galaxy-looking display of light.  The payload is 51 satellites, and on its initial polar orbit, it did a pass-by over Alaska, stunning many night-watchers, including myself. 

Photograph taken outside of Trapper Creek, Alaska, USA.
