And Today Brought Quite a Lot


Best pic of the bunch, from the Avenue E wharf:

Gratuitous Pelican has other things on his mind.
ps: Those are pilings to keep boats off the dock on a high tide.  Though they do sort of look like off-kilter obelisks.  

The SpaceX Bandwagon-5 launch went off right on time at 7:04 EDT this morning.  From this far north the launch initially looked like a red dot climbing up from the horizon, then quickly transitioned into a recognizable exhaust plume within seconds, and finally into the "space jellyfish" dispersed plume you see here.

This was maybe 30 seconds before the other picture.

Definitely worth getting up a tad early.
