- Click for full: Falcon 9 launches Starlink 21 this morning, the third launch from Cape Canaveral in ten days. A shot I've been wanting to get for years. The river is rarely so glassy! LaunchPhotography.com
- Bonus photo for the year: an alligator watches a rocket launch. In nearly 20 years of setting up cameras around the pads, I have never captured a gator in an image before. And more than just the eyes, they seem to be watching!
- PHOTO: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 2017 from Green River Lake, WY. I truly think I had the most beautiful spot in the whole path. More photos soon.
- PHOTO: Artemis I, the first Space Launch System rocket and largest rocket to sit on a pad at Cape Canaveral since the last Saturn V in 1973, sits high atop Pad 39B beneath its destination: the moon, where it will head later this year (United Launch Alliance photo)
- The first Space Launch System rocket, the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built, rolls out to the launch pad in preparation for its uncrewed test flight around the moon on Artemis I later this year (ULA photo)
- An absolutely incredible launch this morning, as Falcon 9 rose from an island in the middle of a blanket of fog.
