Interesting Rocket Launch this Morning

04/05/2024 7:57 AM

Usually rocket launches leave a trail that spreads out within a few minutes and is gone in 15-30 minutes. The trail from today's 5:12 AM launch was still visible more than an hour later. These pictures from 6:34 AM show the trail going back and forth across the sky as the rocket went through different layers of wind blowing in different directions. We can't actually see different layers of air, but it is kind of cool to be able to see what they do.
