Oh. Time lapse photography. I didn't even notice the picture my brain tuned it out as photoshopped so quickly, but long-exposure times and a spiraling rocket ma

  It wasn't a long exposure. What you're seeing is the fuel/exhaust spreading out and catching the light in the upper atmosphere. There's two kinds of chemicals. I guess the yellower is compressed liquid oxygen spilling out laterally as the rocket spins. I don't know what the blue is but it's probably the propellant.

    No, it's still long exposure to catch the winding of the flumes. High speed photography would show each flume as being directional.
