I was about 4.5 miles from the launch/landing site for this one. Incredible experience. The "nebula" overhead was one of the more beautiful things I've seen in my life.
- pferde 8y agoI'm envious a little bit - the "nebula puffs" were awesome to watch even just on the webcast, I can't imagine how beautiful it must have been seeing them with one's own eyes right above you. :)
- SiVal 8y agoThen imagine what it was like for me, when I hadn't heard anything about it and just by coincidence happened to be out staring at the night sky when that crazy "nebula" erupted right in front of me. Incredible, glowing, rainbow-colored, great-nebula-in-orion-looking thing exploding outward, churning with stars or spacecraft or somethings shining spotlights here and there through clouds that rippled with shockwaves. What in the world...?! Jaw dropping.
- nkoren 8y agoMan, that must've been something! I was fully forewarned that it would be crossing into sunlight and probably would be quite spectacular, and it still took my breath away. Can't imagine what it must've been like to be caught unawares.
- nkoren 8y agoThe podcast actually really underplayed how gorgeous it was. This photo does a pretty good job of capturing how it looked to the naked eye: https://twitter.com/somersalt67/status/1049130741303394305 https://twitter.com/somersalt67/status/1049130741303394305 There are amateur videos that do a better job of capturing it than the podcast, but none which fully replicate the experience.
- pferde 8y agoHoly crap, that's a whole another level of beautiful. Thanks!
