A rocket is captured mid-launch at night, ascending into a dark sky with a brilliant, fiery exhaust plume trailing behind it. The plume glows intensely yellow-white at its base and fades into a smoke trail. Below the rocket, the launchpad is obscured by a large cloud of white smoke and steam, illuminated by the launch. A tall, white water tower is visible on the right, silhouetted against the bright cloud. The foreground shows a dark, reflective surface, possibly water or a wet launch area.
