Night Sky
A few weeks ago I wandered out of the house for some forgotten reason and, much to my surprise, saw this in the night sky. I realized that it probably wasn’t a jet trail from a plane, mostly because it was so twisty. Also, although it is hard to tell in the pic, and even in real life, the thing was quite vast. At first I thought it was a failed rocket test, and the fuel trail had drifted from the sea over to us. I found out, sometime later, that it was from a spent rocket booster used in launching a satelite. Still, it was quite lovely and breathtaking.
