NASA's SDO destroys a Sundog on launch. Cool video. The Solar Dynamics Observatory was launched, successfully, Feb 11th. On the way up, the rocket crossed a high altitude layer of ice crystals - a wispy cloud - which was showing a Sundog - the rocket visibly rippled the cloud as it passed through - looks very cool.
