This is a picture of rocket trails left behind by one of NASA's recent missions. Five rockets were consecutively launched and left chemical tracers so that the high-altitude jet stream could push them around. This movement of the tracer would help the scientists better understand the high-altitude jet stream. The tracers were left in the ionosphere and were able to be captured in this picture from the shore of New Jersey facing south. The constellations of Saggitarius and Scorpius are visible, as well as the faint clouds of the milky way.
