Falcon in the sky with shock diamonds
Photographer John Briggs captured this stunning photo of a Falcon 9 rocket launching from Florida’s Cape Canaveral on June 5. “You can barely see the rocket in the clouds, but the clouds acted like a filter resulting in a high-detail image of the flames,” Briggs told Gizmodo. “The circles are referred to as shock diamonds—I’ve never seen this in a photo before.” You can learn more about shock diamonds here.
