Rocket launch this am.

Remnants of booster contrail on right. Booster re-firing to decelerate.

Second stage descending (relative to my horizon) as it continues to accelerate for orbit. Booster again firing for descent.

Sorry for the poor photos; wasn’t planning to take any, but this launch was the most spactacular since the Saturn V era, so I took these, without bracing, on my iPhone.
