Can someone explain to me what actually is happening in this photo?
Well, first of all, it is a great shot of Orion showing Barnard's Loop to the left of Orion ... looks like what it says in the caption, a fuel dump ....
There was a similar dump from another launch in the past 10 days ... we had advanced notice of that one and many folks imaged that one ....
Dave Kodama is a quite capable astro-imager ... thanks for posting this!
