Crew 4 streaking across the Milky Way
This is the Crew-4 launch of April 27, 2022. At 3:52am (ET) a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket carried the Crew 4 mission to orbit, and eventually the International Space Station.
This image is a composite of two images. The first was captured one-minute before the launch, and it shows the Milky Way (ISO3200, 25-secs and f2.8). The second image is the rocket streak, shown in a 308-second exposure (at ISO100 and f16), captured from a location north of Kennedy Space Center, from the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge and the (aptly named) Mosquito Lagoon.
