    A long-exposure night photograph captures a rocket or missile launch, showing a bright continuous light trail streaking diagonally across a dark sky filled with stars. The launch appears to originate from a ground facility visible in the lower right portion of the image. The extended exposure time has captured the full arc of the projectile's ascent trajectory.

    September 12, 2018: A simple separating, ballistic missile target launches from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii as part of Japan Flight Test Mission-05 (JFTM-05). The event was conducted in order to demonstrate a successful engagement of a target missile from the JS ATAGO using the sea-based midcourse engagement capability provided by Aegis BMD. JFTM-05 was a joint test of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and the United States Missile Defense Agency (MDA), and in cooperation with the U.S. Navy.

    A missile is being launched from what appears to be a naval vessel, captured at night or in low-light conditions. The launch produces an intense column of white and golden exhaust plume and smoke that dominates the frame. The missile body is partially visible near the base of the plume, rising vertically from a deck-mounted launcher.
    A missile is being launched from a naval vessel at night, captured mid-launch with intense white and orange exhaust plume illuminating the deck. The image shows a vertical launch system (VLS) firing from what appears to be a warship deck. The extreme brightness of the rocket exhaust contrasts sharply with the dark nighttime background.
