Note: this topic is from 2009. Extra to APoD. This turned out to be a Russian missile launch failure.

Thank you for the APOD extra and link to the OP. The 2009 comments and banter about
the government are much less serious than they are in today’s news and commentary.

As usual, it is cloudy here in Bugtussle Ohio, so stargazing is not a frequent occurrence.
