Winds aloft contort a SpaceX contrail in to a curious form, June 29, 2018.
We missed the actual launch, but Fairy noted the remnants and I just had to get this photo. The sun is well below the horizon, but still its rays reached the upper contrail of the ascending rocket. Atmospheric winds and turbulence did the rest. This really quacks me up.
