Yesterday I posted a single image of the Artemis 1 heading to the moon. Late hours to catch the launch and then work have kept me busy. Here's the full set.

When the rocket launched, the sky lit up so much it was like morning. Even with red and blue highlights in the sky. As it climbed higher, the brightness calmed and my phone could capture more detail.

Around 3 minutes into the launch the low rumble of the motors makes it to our location and you can feel it in your chest. Prior to this, it is completely silent.

Here's the full set of pix:

You can see the rocket at the trunks of the tree-line.

if you click on this pic and click again (for full rez) and zoom in on the rocket, you'll see two dim point lights just to the right, that is the boosters after separation.

This last image was taken by my wife from her iphone.

For anyone who hasn't experienced a launch, that feeling it as much as hearing it is something else.
