This morning at 6:35 a Delta II rocket was launched from the space coast. We're about 80 miles away but, weather permitting, always get to see something. This morning the view was magnificent!

Coming over the horizon.



The moon and Venus light the way.



As the sun started coming up, it illuminated the contrail.





I got across the street to an open field and found a rocket rainbow.



Long after the rocket was gone, the contrail remained. It looked like some sort of alien writing.

Just amazing.
