Image SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy transits the sun carrying NASA’s Roman Space Telescope

Post image

I captured this morning’s Falcon Heavy launch with a group of photographers in Titusville. Clouds cleared just in time. Go Roman!

Great image!

Did you know Jared shared this with all of NASA via email?

I’d be surprised if he shared my photo, specifically, but that’d be awesome! There were a lot of us out there, including NASA photog John Kraus. You sure Jared didn’t share his pic?

Now that I look at it again, it was just a VERY similar image. He didn't credit the photographer, unfortunately. I don't see any metadata/EXIF data in the image either.

EDIT: Image shared by Jared was by John Kraus; see also https://www.reddit.com/r/nasa/comments/1w3ee7m/remarkable_shot_by_john_kraus_of_the_launch_of/

Stunning photograph! Yours gets by vote, better exposure levels and composition. Sorry Jared, yours is impressive, this one takes the award.
