World's Tallest Rocket Roars Away

Spectacular photo captures Cape Canaveral liftoff

You're looking at the Delta 4-Heavy lifting off from launch complex 37B at Cape Canaveral, and yes, that's actually a photograph.

Good thing the camera was remotely triggered by photographer Ben Cooper, who used sound activation to snap this shot while he was safely ensconced 3 miles away.

We feel sorry for that camera, though, whose lens was destroyed. The good news is, the camera itself somehow survived this hellish inferno as the world's tallest unmanned rocket roared away from its launchpad. This is such a spectacular photo, we thought at first it was an illustration. Nice work, Mr. Cooper.
