Throwback, NASA’s Unplanned Frog Spotting During Shuttle Launch

During a shuttle launch, one of the three still cameras positioned around the launch site, designed to activate upon detecting sound, captured a remarkable sight, a small frog suspended in mid-air. The frog’s distinctive form, with its limbs outstretched, is unmistakable against the backdrop of debris from the surrounding wetlands, all lifted by the force of the rocket’s engines. This extraordinary photograph encapsulates the unexpected encounter between space exploration and terrestrial life, showcasing the dynamic intersection of science and nature.
