Falcon 9 – Upper-Stage Burn over Norway. January 25, 2026.

The reddish glow is caused by sunlight scattering in the rapidly expanding
exhaust plume at orbital altitude. At this moment, the rocket stage
was in Earth’s shadow while the plume remained sunlit, creating a high-altitude
optical display visible across much of Northern Europe.

A red spot over the valley (at about 19:45 local time), it was caused by a Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX. Location: Ørsta, Norway. Details: Canon 650D, fisheye lens (8mm).

SpaceX spiral. Aurora. Fireball. March 04/05, 2024

Beautiful auroral activity on March 4/5, 2024. There was an intense, and brief, spiral in front of the aurora at am 02.00 (local time) on March 05, 2024. Just above the mountain. It turned out to be a Falcon-9 rocket (2nd-stage) from SpaceX. A fireball was also captured during the observation run. Please, find times notated on the images.
