这个穿越太阳的火箭怎么了？左上角可见的SpaceX猎鹰9号火箭，在这张令人惊叹的照片拍摄前一分钟才发射升空。5月下旬，当它从美国佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角上升到近地轨道时，火箭在穿越遥远的太阳圆盘之前达到了超音速——从位置合适的摄影师的角度来看。宇宙飞船的高速导致弓形压缩空气冲击波在主要表面形成，即使在太阳的圆盘外，至少也有三个可见的冲击波，因为它们会折射阳光。拖尾排气造成了右下方可见的乱流。所有这些都没有对Starlink 10-53机器人任务造成损害，该任务按计划将29颗通信卫星送入近地轨道。如果这还不够神奇的话——太阳上也有黑子！《天空惊喜》：《APOD》在你生日那天给你拍了什么照片？(1995年以后)

What's happening to this Sun-crossing rocket? The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, visible on the upper left, launched only about one minute before this amazing image was captured. As it rose to low Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, in late May, the rocket became supersonic before it crossed the disk of the distant Sun -- from the perspective of the well-placed photographer. The spacecraft's high speed caused bow-shaped compressed-air shockwaves to form across leading surfaces, with at least three visible even outside the Sun's disk because they refract sunlight. The trailing exhaust caused turbulence visible on the lower right. None of this was damaging to the robotic Starlink 10-53 mission, which delivered 29 communications satellites to low Earth orbit as planned. And if that isn't amazing enough - the Sun had spots!
