Explanation:
On
the morning of September 24
a rocket crosses the bright solar disk in this long range
telescopic snapshot captured from Orlando, Florida.
That's about 50 miles north of its Kennedy Space Center launch site.
This rocket carried three new space weather missions to space.
Signals have now been successfully acquired
from all three -
NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe,
NASAБs Carruthers Geocorona Observatory,
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Follow-On Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) -
as they begin their journey to L1, an Earth-Sun lagrange point.
L1
is about 1.5 million kilometers
in the sunward direction from planet Earth.
Appropriately, major space weather influencers, aka
dark sunspots in active regions across the Sun,
are posing with the transiting rocket.
In
fact, large active region
AR4225 is just right of the rocket's nose.
