    Insane how dense that rocket plume has to be to block out the sun. Great shot.

      I wonder if it’s not so much the density/opacity, but rather refraction. Significant difference in density meaning diffraction, and we’re seeing the comparatively dark sky refracted through the exhaust plume?

    Fake, that rocket is obviously larger than earth if it’s covering that much of the sun
