And the Atlas V rocket is off! This rocket is carrying the U.S. Navy satellite. Looking at the sky, one can see how the rocket passes through the one of the brightest stars, Sirius. This image also captures two constellations called Orion and Taurus. Above Taurus one is able to see the compact Pleiades star cluster. Also, if one looks closely one will be able to see the greenish coma and long tail of comet Lovejoy.
