Starlink 10-25 by SpaceX
At 2:28am (ET) Wednesday, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket sending a batch of Starlink satellites to space, seen here from (a cloudy) Satellite Beach, Florida.
This is the 29th time this booster has been to space and back.
Solstice + Lighthouse
Summer Solstice: For the Northern Hemisphere, it's the longest day of the year, and the Sun rises, and in this case, sets at its most northerly points on the horizon.
For a week or so on either side of the solstice, this more northerly sunset makes possible (weather permitting) one of my favorite shots, the giant ball Sun behind the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse.
For this shot, captured Tuesday (6/17), I'm 1.13 miles away on the other side of the inlet, standing on the New Smyrna Beach Jetty. The Jetty is usually necessary for the shot, but because it happened to be low tide, the alignment was easily possible from the beach.
Details: ISO500, 1/4000-sec, and f16 with a Canon R5m2 and RF200-800mm lens.
Ax4 by SpaceX
This is a view of the early Wednesday morning Axiom Space hashtag#Ax4 crewed launch by hashtag#SpaceX, seen from MLB.
For every launch, numerous resources are deployed to keep the crew safe, and this fully stocked helicopter was on station for crucial (and happily, not needed) support.
Big thanks to Operator Solutions for their excellent work and for allowing me to shoot from the flight line. It sure was a pretty launch (and landing!).

SXM-10 by SpaceX
Friday night / Saturday morning at 12:54 am (ET), SpaceX launched the SXM-10 satellite for SiriusXM Radio, seen here in a 233-second exposure from Satellite Beach, Florida.
It was not long after low tide, and I had this patch of beach entirely to myself. It was a dreamy view made dramatic by the roar of the rocket, just another night on the Space Coast.
Starlink 12-19 by SpaceX
12:43am (ET) Tuesday: SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a batch of Starlink satellites, seen here in a 178-sec exposure from Cocoa Beach.
It was cloudy, so visibility wasn't great, and the clouds probably contributed to the particularly thunderous roar.
