Launch of the Sun Pillar
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Afrikaans: Op 16 Januarie het die NASA-pendeltuig Columbia in blou oggendlug bokant STS-107 by die Kennedy-ruimtesentrum gedreun, die eerste pendeltuigsending van 2003. Hier het ons egter nie 'n prentjie van daardie lansering nie! Tog is dit op die oggend van 16 Januarie teen dagbreek geneem en bied 'n ooswaartse blik oor die Ontario-meer van net buitekant Caledon in Ontario, Kanada. In die prentjie lyk dit of 'n sonsuil, d.w.s. sonlig wat deur sagkens vallende yskristalle in die koue lug weerkaats word, bo die vurige Son opskiet terwyl dié nog knap bo die kim is. Om die lanseringsillusie te voltooi lyk die mis en wolke wat oor die betreklik warm meerwater vorm toevallig na 'n golwende uitlaatpluim van vuurpylrook. Amateurfotograaf Lauri Kangas het op pad werk toe gestop om die treffende sonsuil-lansering vas te vang.
English: On January 16, NASA's space shuttle Columbia roared into blue morning skies above Kennedy Space Center on STS-107, the first shuttle mission of 2003. But this is not a picture of that launch! It was taken on the morning of January 16 though, at sunrise, looking eastward toward Lake Ontario from just outside of Caledon, Ontario, Canada. In the picture a sun pillar, sunlight reflecting from ice crystals gently falling through the cold air, seems to shoot above the fiery Sun still low on the horizon. By chance, fog and clouds forming over the relatively warm lake look like billowing smoke from a rocket's exhaust plume and complete the launch illusion. Amateur photographer Lauri Kangas stopped on his way to work to record the eye-catching sun pillar launch. |
