This is the launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory on an Atlas V Rocket.
The cool thing about this take off is when the rocket hits supersonic speed it passes through a Sun Dog.
Apparently that is a special rainbow that is created by the light from the sun refracting through the ice crystals on clouds. I have never heard of this.
The effect is nothing short of awesome!
By the way, thank you Sir Glen.
