Cape Canaveral Lighthouse in the light of a rocket

The launch of a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket carrying the Starlink 6-26 mission streaks over the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. The dark sky shares the light of both the rocket and the lighthouse. The light of the rocket illuminates the Keeper's Cottage as it streaks southeast bound.
