A still camera on a sound trigger captured this intriguing photo of an airborne frog as NASA's LADEE spacecraft lifts off from Pad 0B at NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Sept. 7, 2013 | 03:27:00 UT (Sept. 6, 2013 | 11:27 p.m. EST).

The photo team confirmed the frog is real and was captured in a single frame by one of the remote cameras used to photograph the launch. The condition of the frog, however, is uncertain.
