“Rocket Streak and Star Trails” is copyrighted by Mike Killian. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteA camera at Kennedy Space Center captured star trails over three hours on January 23rd. The photo also shows a spectacular night launch of an Atlas V rocket carrying NASA's TDRS-L satellite. The star trails are caused by Earth's rotation, while the rocket creates its own streak of light as it ascends.
