Shockwave

    Newer Older

    As the Atlas V traveled through the cloud with the Sun Dog, we watched the shockwave go through the cloud, destroying the Sun Dog.

    Update: This image was the Astronomy Picture of the Day for 23 February 2010. The full resolution image can be found there.

      Amazing shots of the shock wave. Would you be willing to post the full-resolution shot somewhere - or a link to the one on flickr?

      Wonderful.
      A such stunning picture would deserve an high-resolution availability, IMHO.

      Great Capture!
      bellissima questa foto dell' onda d'urto dell' Atlas V,
      praticamente effetto sasso nello stagno.
      davvero notevole!
