"SpaceX Rocket Photobombs Moon in Award-Winning Shot"

Photographer Pascal Fouquet captured an award-winning shot of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket transiting the full moon during the launch of USSF-52, winning the United States' National Award for the Sony World Photography Awards 2024. Fouquet's skillful capture, taken with a Nikon D850, required precise timing and exposure to highlight the moon while the rocket passed in front of it. The photo was taken during the launch of the United States Space Force X-37B spaceplane, marking the spacecraft's seventh mission.
