Sonic Boom Meets Sun Dog 720p

Solar Dynamics Observatory Launch, Feb 11, 2010 HD VERSION A sun dog is a prismatic bright spot in the sky caused by sun shining through ice crystals. The Atlas V rocket exceeded the speed of sound in this layer of ice crystals, making the shock wave visible from the ground. The announcer can be heard in the video saying, "The vehicle is now supersonic."

@Assafro No, it's breaking the sound barrier. Moving faster than sound.

@beachton123 No, I believe it's from the final scene in the throne room and end credits of Ep IV.

@LokcedUot You do not understand the difficulty in filming this. It looks like it has been filmed from the causeway. That is a couple of miles away from the launch site. This means there is a lot of zoom used. This makes any small camera movements seem exaggerated on the video.

Unless you have a big heavy camera on a top quality tripod you are going to need a pistol grip for your camera and a lot of practise to properly frame the rocket during its flight.

You got any video of rockets?
