In this panoramic view, the launch of an Atlas V rocket is seen from a distance, down a road that leads to the launch pad at launch complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida. In the middle of the image, the rocket appears as a small, thin line ascending into the sky. Billowy smoke surrounds the launch pad and the green of the marshy land around the complex is brilliant. The sun is shining brightly in the left corner of the image and the blue water of the Atlantic Ocean is visible just behind the launch complex.
