Starman on the way to Mars in a Tesla

Mere minutes after successfully launching the Falcon Heavy rocket on the first try today, SpaceX was live streaming footage from Tesla Roadster it released into space. The stream was oscillating between the three cameras mounted to the car and the data feed from SpaceX HQ that shows the rocket stage’s trajectory.
The live stream lasted for 4.5 hours until the connection dropped. The final burn was successful according to Elon Musk. The Roadster was originally scheduled to go to Mars, but now it’s going to the asteroid belt.
Obviously I did not take this photo. I took a screenshot of a SpaceX YouTube webcast, processed a balanced HDR photo from it, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.
