A nearly full Corn Moon hangs in the twilight sky above Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Below, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket's first stage descends, its engines firing, creating a dramatic contrast against the lunar backdrop. This marks the fourth launch for this reusable rocket stage and its first polar orbit launch from Cape Canaveral since 1969.
