  • Solar Dynamics Observatory Launch, Feb 11, 2010 HD VERSION A sun dog is a prismatic bright spot in the sky caused by sun shining through ice crystals. The Atlas V rocket exceeded the speed of sound in this layer of ice crystals, making the shock wave visible from the ground. The announcer can be heard in the video saying, "The vehicle is now supersonic."
    Before I made this trip I read some advice for photographers shooting rockets that said if it's your first launch, be sure to watch the actual event, don't lock your eyes on your camera the whole time. You don't want to miss actually experiencing it. That's why the camera doesn't track the rocket very well. I was trying to watch the actual thing. I understand that this infuriates a lot of people. I can't feel all that bad about it considering in that whole row of professional photographers with giant expensive cameras I was the only one that got this on HD video. I'd loaned my big tripod to a friend with a DSLR and I was just using a monopod for this, leaning it back as the rocket ascended. I was watching that sun dog, though, and framed it up on purpose.

    Excellent video of the launch and sun dog event! Wonderful resolution and you can really see the continuation of the ripples! And I love how you ran it 3 times so I didn't have to keep going back as many times to see it again!! Good job!!

      It also makes so much sense since this kind of sundog depends on the alignment of crystals, and the sonic wave broke it.

    I expect the majority of people in that audience were scientists or engineers of some kind. As a physicist with a concentration in acoustics and a professional nature photographer I definitely appreciated it on many levels. Being able to see it with a few dozen people who came that day because of their interest in science was part of the fun.

    and, to those crying fake or whining about the camera work: look, zapruder, it's not like we expected this to happen. at no point does the voice on the loudspeaker say "now watch the sun dog carefully, and be sure to keep the camera steady because you owe it to the internet".

    either ice crystals to alternately melt (and maybe evaporate) and refreeze or else to melt and evaporate and then recondense into water, cyclically as the waves passed it.
    This is actually quite like the visible ripples in a pond after throwing a pebble into it. The unique factor here is that we had a cloud layer ideally positioned to visualize the effect.

  • @johnknoefler

    So the ripples are the effects of the sonic boom changing the reflections in the Sun Dog. Then you can also see the sonic boom reverberating off the ground and back up into the Sun Dog. A wonderful visualization of a sonic boom and the wave ripples of sound through atmosphere. perfect.

    • @maelwine1
      @maelwine1 5 років тому

      The sonic boom, or shock wave disturbed the orientation of the ice crystals in the cirrus clouds. the ice crystals have to be oriented a certain way in relation to the sun, and have a certain shape to permit sun dogs to be visible. This is an improper analogy, but, if you turn a mirror the wrong way, you can't see your face. Ice crystals, and prisms can act like mirrors, binoculars have prisms, yet because they can act like mirrors, their length is usually shorter. Looking at the sun dog was like like looking at a large array of extremely small prisms that were refracting the sunlight, when suddenly the shock wave came along and rotated them. The ripples became visible because the ice crystals in the clouds were small, and, partially, probably because of the compression of the air in the shock wave which also would have altered the temperature.

  • @brdavis5
    @brdavis5 14 років тому

    @mrsbrown1357 Likely the shock front generated by the supersonic rocket "tumbles" the ice crystals in the thin clouds as it races through. Those ice crystals were previously in a very specific arrangement, like little mirrors, so "jiggling" them changes the reflection... and makes it visible from the ground.

    Having videoed & watched a shuttle launch before, I suspect it's because she had a choice: look through a camera to keep it centered the whole time, or actually try to experience the spectacle with her actual eyes. Having had to make that decision myself... I think she did an excellent job.

  • @brdavis5
    @brdavis5 14 років тому

    In that region of the cloud, the ice crystals would be hexagonal plates (aligned)... after all, that's why you would get a sundog. As a disturbance moves through, if it deflects those plates, it will act like millions of tiny mirrors flexing. That will destroy the sundog alignment... but it might tilt crystals in neighboring regions in such a way to reflect more or less light towards the viewer. Melting them will take a lot of energy (that can't be recovered into sound during refreezing).
