Southern Cross with a Malfunctioning Russian Briz-M Rocket - Explosion. Taken 20th February 2007 2.a.m. Don't be tricked by the appearance of the object. It was moving incredibly slowly. Too slowly to see any naked eye movement. The tip of this object is where the object exploded and it slowly drifted toward the left as it expanded. This object trailed to the left through this photo for ten minutes giving the appearance of a comet or fast moving meteor. This is the first time a man made explosion in space has been caught on camera. |
