天空怎么了?上周一,美国太空探索技术公司(SpaceX)的一枚火箭发射产生的上镜羽流在南加州和亚利桑那州的部分地区形成了相当壮观的景象。这枚火箭从加利福尼亚州隆波克附近的范登堡空军基地发射,令人印象深刻,它是如此明亮,因为它被夕阳的背光照亮了。猎鹰9号火箭成功地将23颗星链通信卫星送入近地轨道。右边是第一级火箭的羽流,而左边是翱翔的第一级火箭的羽流顶点。金星出现在画面的顶部,而明亮的街灯则在画面的最右侧。这张特色图片是在日落后从亚利桑那州凤凰城附近向西拍摄的。

What's happened to the sky? Last Monday, the photogenic launch plume from a SpaceX rocket launch created quite a spectacle over parts of southern California and Arizona. Looking at times like a giant space fish, the impressive rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Lompoc, California, was so bright because it was backlit by the setting Sun. The Falcon 9 rocket successfully delivered to low Earth orbit 23 Starlink communications satellites. The plume from the first stage is seen on the right, while the soaring upper stage rocket is seen at the apex of the plume toward the left. Venus appears at the top of the frame, while a bright streetlight shines on the far right. The featured image was captured toward the west after sunset from near Phoenix, Arizona.
