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."

  • OOAH! WOW! HAHAHA!

  • shite filming but wicked event

  • @jugalator ok thanks for the information

    So I don't know the speed of sound. Though I would have thought the rocket would have already been moving much faster than sound at that height

  • i knew it! the sky really IS made of water!!

  • @meetsouder It's "Throne Room".

  • Crap man, that giant bird almost got hit!

  • yay

  • @bladerunner12 more like entering a picture in super mario 64 :D

  • imagine them tricking you into thinking that its a space rocket but its actually a nuke on its way to iran or china

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