a long exposure photo of the night sky

A new day in spaceflight. The launch of Inspiration4 on a SpaceX rocket opens a new path for space tourism. This "night to day" composition is shot over 12 hours. The star trails on the left represent the night before civilian spaceflight. The launch (and landing) streak in the middle is the launch. The pre-dawn sky on the right is the new day in spaceflight. At the bottom, boat traffic who came out in the middle of the night to watch the launch in Merritt Island, Florida.
