19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch
A 30-second exposure of the first stage burn of a SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch, delivering a payload of 60 Starlink satellites. The launch was at Cape Canaveral in Florida and the photo was taken about 45 miles south near Sebastian. It was a perfectly clear night over the water under the stars. A lot of people were gathered on the docks and out on boats for the launch. Such an incredible sight to experience.
