>>388971His what?????
The space shuttle launched from cape canaveral just before sunrise. The plume of exhaust is being hit by sunlight, which is creating a shadow, the shadow, from the viewers' perspective, appears to be pointing at the moon.
>>388970WEEGEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee

Not the space shuttle, but everything else is right.
>>388974shadows arent physical matter, they are the lack of light being reflected off of an object into your eyeball. That is not a shadow.
>>389231Where do you suppose the blue color of the sky is coming from? That's sunlight Rayleigh scattering off air. Less light to scatter (because of the plume) means less Rayleigh scattering, resulting in a darker sky.
the moon shot down the spaceship to prevent us from discovering its cheese
Full moon launch during evening/morning so that the sun is low enough in the sky to only light the top of the smoke trail directly - Full moon puts the moon and sun on opposite sides of the earth so that the shadow of the smoke plume would point at it. Smoke trail is uneven due to atmospheric turbulence. I would like my prize in tits, please.

>>389424...it's a severely over quoted bad joke!>>388974>>389239>>389401Nice.
>>389424wtf you talking about the moon is at the end of the boom can't you see the white at the tip of the fire trail?
its late sunset, the sun is grazing the earth, now almost turned away from the sun, lighting the top portion of the smoke. the shadow of the smoke falls into the moon because the moon in facing the sun.
