Explanation: The launch of a rocket at sunrise can result in unusual but intriguing images that feature both the rocket and the Sun. Such was the case last month when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center carrying 53 more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. In the featured launch picture, the rocket's exhaust plume glows beyond its projection onto the distant Sun, the rocket itself appears oddly jagged, and the Sun's lower edge shows peculiar drip-like ripples. The physical cause of all of these effects is pockets of relatively hot or rarefied air deflecting sunlight less strongly than pockets relatively cool or compressed air: refraction. Unaware of the Earthly show, active sunspot region 3014 -- on the upper left -- slowly crosses the Sun.

Uhh...seems that someone by mistake included a snapshot of an IVF procedure.
Nice photo...
Looks like the burning needle they left stuck in Biden’s brain hoping the brain waves of the moose he connected to, will work. But I don’t think it is going to work very long.
My first thought as well...
Lol swimming upstream 🤪

I bet Elon got a smile seeing that.
I know the kid who shot this. He lives close to the space and shoots most launches. NASA has been so impressed with his photography and enthusiasm, they’ve given him special access to some launches.

Looks like the egg is being fertilized.
