   Explanation: Shockwaves ripple across the glare as a launch eclipses
   the setting Sun in this exciting close-up. Captured on September 17,
   the roaring Falcon 9 rocket carried European Galileo L13 navigation
   satellites to medium Earth orbit after a lift-off from Cape Canaveral
   on Florida's space coast. The Falcon 9 booster returned safely to Earth
   about 8.5 minutes later, notching the 22nd launch and landing for the
   reusable workhorse launch vehicle. But where did it land? Just Read the
   Instructions.
