      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.
