TL;DR Summary

Photographer Pascal Fouquet captured an award-winning photo of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket transiting the full moon during the launch of the USSF-52 mission, earning first place in the United States' National Award for the Sony World Photography Awards 2024. Fouquet's skillful shot, taken with a Nikon D850, required precise timing and exposure settings to capture the rocket passing in front of the moon. The photo was taken just before the new year when SpaceX launched the United States Space Force X-37B spaceplane from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The winning image can be viewed on the World Photography Organization's website.
