SpaceX Falcon 9 over Downtown Los Angeles

  • October 7th 2018, exactly 4 years ago today, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. I captured this timelapse of the launch from City Terasse in Los Angeles. You can clearly see Downtown LA in the foreground!
    I used a 1” interval which means the total duration of the entire launch is about 7 to 8 minutes. You’ve probably seen this timelapse online as it has been shared all over social media for the last 4 years. Even today, the timelapse is still being heavily shared by different space accounts and bring me new followers (if they tag me properly). Sure is the timelapse that changed everything!
    The launch took place about 45min after the sunset which was the perfect time of the day to create what we call a Twiligh Phenomenon. A twilight phenomenon is produced when exhaust particles from missile or rocket propellant left in the vapor trail of a launch vehicle condense, freeze, and then expand in the less dense upper atmosphere. The exhaust plume, which is suspended against a dark sky, is then illuminated by reflective high-altitude sunlight through dispersion, which produces a spectacular, colorful effect when seen at ground level.

    This is a launch into 'twilight' Just before sunrise or right after
    sunset, the exhaust and gasses reflect the sunlight that is still
    passing overhead.
    The booster makes pulsing effects from the cold gas thrusters.

      First, we need to stop lying that man ever went to the Moon. Secondly, we need to finger out how to go past the Earth's space barrier of the magnetosphere bow shock.
      And before you reply saying I don't know what I'm talking about please explain how they made an astronaut's inner inside suit design that physically rotates at +250 to - 250 climate control system on the fly.
      None of the astronauts were restricted from turning around while walking on the moon by doing so you turned to hundreds of negative or plus degrees.
      Also going through earth's arc of outer space magnetosphere bow shock layer is like going through molten lava.

      It’s just because it launched at the right time of day. Not a lot of launches happen during this time of day because it’s such a narrow window for this “jellyfish effect” to happen. If this rocket had launched earlier in the day or later in the night it would have looked like any other rocket launch. There have been 40+ launches of this same rocket this year and most don’t look like this because they are at different times of day.
