starman

Photographer Reuben Wu was at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona last week shooting photos for his gorgeous Lux Noctis project (landscapes at night illuminated by drone-mounted LEDs) when he captured something unexpected: the exhaust plume of SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket that launched during the day.

This is the last photo of the Tesla Roadster that was launched into space this week. It shows the dummy named Starman leaving Earth in the rear view mirror as it hurtles towards Mars' orbit and then onto the Asteroid Belt.
