Atlas V's Sonic Boom Made Visible By Sundog

Posted by timothy on from the right-time-and-place dept.

Ross-Shire Geek writes "Atlas V lifted off on Feb 11 from Kennedy. As it goes supersonic through a sundog (aka parhelion) you can see (video link) wonderful visible ripples of the shock wave in the sky."

    Funny that you speak about that. I recall W blasting Clinton for the NK agreement as well as for dealing with Iran. And here we now stand with NK having done supposedly 2 nukes and Iran close. And you think that it all occurred in the last year? Really? Neo-cons like you are SOOOO FUCKING STUPID. Sadly, there are far too many indies that will listen to idiots like you. Next you will be blaming Obama for increasing the Debt, while ignoring the fact that 80% of it is from republicans (reagan and W accounted for 60% of it).
