Good morning, Rallypoint, and welcome to this President's Day edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for February 17, 2025.
This image was captured last Monday (February 10th) looking west from near Phoenix, Arizona. It is just after sunset, which is why the launch plume looks as bright as it does. You see the remnant of the first stage to the right and the second stage still firing to the left. 23 more Starlink satellites are now in orbit. Pretty cool stuff.

In Pre-Historic Times When Visions Such As This Crossed The Skies,
Caused By Comets Shooting Through, They Were Though To Be Messages From The Gods, Foretelling Of Doom.

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney If they saw this in prehistoric times it would definitely been a foretelling of doom... Imagine a Caveman watching a Space X rocket burn through the sky.... Without a doubt, a message from the Gods! LOL

LOL... Wouldn't You Have Loved To See The Expression On Their Face?
And As For Their Being Considered As Gods, They Were ~. In Many Religions Throughout The World, Including The Aboriginals In Australia Whom Are Also Of The Belief: "They Originated From A Planet Hidden By The Moon, Invisible From The Earth"... UNTIL It Was Discovered By Our Space Vehicles While Orbiting The Moon . ~~ Cool Huh?
