A strange, bright, swirling mass was seen over the skies of Hawaii and was captured on camera by the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera located on Mauna Kea. While some might have thought it was a UFO, it was actually caused by a SpaceX Rocket.
SpaceX has been using the Falcon 9 partially reusable two-stage-to-orbit medium-lift launch system that can return to Earth and be flown again multiple times for several years, but it's no less impressive to see it in action every time.
The first few images released by the SpaceX team were shot with a Nikon DSLR, but the images shared in the most recent drop by mission commander Jared Isaacman were captured using an iPhone 12.
NASA astronauts regularly share beautiful images of Earth captured from space. However, a recent batch of photos captured from an even higher orbit than the International Space Station (ISS) provides an even more astonishing view of planet Earth.
The SpaceX Inspiration4 space mission was the first-ever orbital spaceflight in which the whole crew was composed of private citizens. While zooming around our planet during the three-day journey, the crew snapped this out-of-this-world selfie that used the Earth as the backdrop.
European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet recently published a set of images from the International Space Station of Earth that show only water and clouds, which makes the planet look very different than it is normally seen.
Hundreds of astronomers, satellite operators, and dark-sky advocates recently joined forces to call out a problem that impacts all three groups: the growing number of SpaceX 'Starlink' satellites in orbit, and how these 'constellations' could actively hurt scientific progress and have a 'fatal' impact on some forms of astrophotography.
This is the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, sitting on its cargo-carrying “trunk”. The dragon will (God willing) carry two astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) this Wednesday.
A couple of days ago, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk unveiled a plan to help keep the company's thousands of Starlink satellites from becoming a very noticeable blight on the night sky, a complaint we've heard from astronomers and astrophotographers alike.
While photographing the Aurora from above the Indian Ocean, astronauts on the ISS accidentally captured something else as well. Just like Earth-bound photographers, they're now having to deal with photo bombing by the many 'Starlink' satellites that SpaceX has launched.
Respected spaceflight photographer John Kraus was on hand yesterday to watch and capture the latest SpaceX Falcon 9 launch in Florida. But he didn't just capture one view, he captured three.
If you enjoy following Elon Musk on Twitter, be careful not to call him out on posting photographers' work without permission or credit. Multiple people just got blocked by the Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur for doing just that.
If you were shooting astrophotography over the past couple of nights and noticed a strange line of bright dots traveling across the sky, you might have spotted SpaceX's Starlink satellites. That's what Marco Langbroek caught on camera yesterday in the video above.
“Oakland Center are you talking to that traffic at our 9 o’clock position? We got a yellow light out there and it’s coming up pretty fast.” This unusual radio transmission to Air Traffic Control from a Southwest Airlines jet caught our attention on an otherwise routine flight between New Orleans and San Francisco.
A bright a dazzling light show appeared in the Southern California sky last night, and social media was flooded with snapshots by people who wondered if they were seeing an alien invasion. It was actually a SpaceX rocket -- the first time billionaire Elon Musk's company has landed the Falcon 9 rocket's reusable first stage on the West Coast.
SpaceX just revealed that Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will be its first space tourist for a trip to the moon as early as 2023, and Maezawa is planning to select a group of artists, including a photographer, for a free 5-day lunar trip with him.
Renowned NASA photographer Bill Ingalls set up a remote DSLR camera pointed at the launch pad yesterday during the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch. When he went back to retrieve the camera afterward, this is what he found.
Want to relive the glory of SpaceX's first-ever Falcon Heavy launch? Check out this epic new 2-minute short film titled, "Falcon Heavy & Starman." It was created by Jonathan Nolan, the co-creator and director of the hit TV series Westworld and the brother of filmmaker Christopher Nolan.
How does SpaceX get such clear and detailed imagery and footage of its rocket launches? Here's a 5-minute video from Primal Space that answers that question.
My name is Brady Kenniston, and I’m a portrait and wedding photographer from a small town in Michigan, nowhere near the rocket haven that is Kennedy Space Center. Occasionally I shoot high school sports and cover events for our small town, but it’s hard to prepare yourself and equipment to capture 5 million pounds of thrust coming from the 27 engines attached to a 230-foot tall rocket with a Red Tesla Roadster in the payload fairing.
