Clear night after clear night- thanks to a high pressure area above West Europe. An ideal moment to observe the Moon crescent with my adorable niece 🙂 – and godchild!
Observing with company
Rocket launch spiral
Casually checking out my all-sky camera, I caught a strange phenomena.
Going outside it turned out to be a mesmirizing spiral that crossed the sky from NNW towards E in about 15 minutes, around 21 MET.
My son Warre Verheyden could capture it on the phone camera:
Most likely a Falcon 9 rocket stage with a fuel cloud spiral, generated by the tolling stage. The launch was 18.48 MET on Cape Canaveral SLC-40
