history

History was made today. The kind of history that will be written about and studied for years to come, and I was able to capture it from my backyard. Artemis II successfully launched with a crew of four and is heading to the Moon. Not as great, magnificent, or universe changing as what we will celebrate this Sunday with Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, not even close. But still amazing.

Here is what I get to see from my house on the other side of the coast of Florida. Not as amazing as being there, but still awesome. A clear blue sky dominates the image with no clouds visible. At the bottom of the image, the tops of two tall trees with green and brown leaves are seen. The trees have thin branches with sparse foliage, indicating a possible seasonal change or type of tree. Rising diagonally from the lower left corner towards the upper center of the image is a white smoke trail, likely from a rocket or missile launch, which is faint but distinct against the blue sky. The smoke trail starts thick near the trees and gradually becomes thinner as it ascends. The overall scene suggests a rocket launch viewed from a distance with natural greenery in the foreground.

A clear blue sky dominates the image with a faint white contrail diagonally crossing from the lower left to the upper center, indicating the recent passage of a fast-moving object. Near the top of the contrail, a small bright object, possibly a rocket or missile, is visible ascending. The bottom portion of the image shows the tops of two tall trees with green and brown leaves, suggesting a mix of healthy and drying foliage. The trees have thin branches with sparse leaves, allowing some sky to be seen through them. The overall setting appears to be outdoors on a clear day with no clouds, focusing on the sky and the ascending object.

No Fools today on this 1st of April. Pretty surreal to watch it from here.
