This was the view from our driveway just after dusk tonight as we watched the launch of a military rocket from Vandenburg Air Force Base, which is about 120 miles northwest of us. The eerie colors were caused by ice crystals from unburned fuel from the rocket reflecting sunlight high in the atmosphere.
You can also see bright Jupiter getting ready to set on the left side of the picture.
Cooper added an exclamation point to the event by pointing his nose skyward and shouting at the top of his lungs, "THANK YOU, ROCKET!"
