white and red space ship on blue sky during daytime

Captured by a sound-activated camera placed near the launch pad, this photo shows a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifting 60 Starlink satellites to orbit. The satellites will eventually provide Internet access to remote areas of Canada and the northern United States. The cryogenic rocket fuel is super-chilled, causing frost to form on the outside of the rocket. The shaking of lift-off causes the frost to fall from the cold rocket until it is vaporized by the heat of the exhaust.
