If you see someone post someone elseâs work, please say something. Huge thanks to all of you that shared my work, and to those that recognized my uncredited work and gave me a heads up. Timelapse of last nightâs Falcon 9 rocket launching some iridium NEXT satellites into orbit! Absolutely breathtaking experience to see this happen live. One Instagram user, put together a spectacular time-lapse video of the launch over Los Angeles. In this case, conditions were perfect: there was a little bit of light in the sky to illuminate the rocket, and it was bright and visible in the just-darkening sky.Īs the sun set over the ocean, thousands of spectators filmed the scene, and for days they flooded Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with pictures and videos. This rocket launches from one station in California and two in Florida, but it's rare that so many people can see it. On December 22, it launched to deliver 10 iridium satellites into orbit. Like other SpaceX Rockets, it delivers payloads to space. Falcon 9 is a reusable rocket that has launched 18 times in 2017, most recently out of Santa Barbara, California.
The rocket, called Falcon 9, is a nine-engine rocket designed by Elon Musk's company SpaceX. Some apparently thought aliens in a UFO caused the sight, and the hashtag #aliens trended on Twitter. While the filmed passengers appear to know that the light in the sky is a rocket, other Californians were confused and surprised by the appearance.

"Oh shit, this guy is not paying attention, man!" the driver says of the car that fails to slow down.
