Check out this photograph NASA captured recently during the launch of its LADEE spacecraft. Notice anything unusual? If you're thinking that the strange dark spot seen in the middle of the smoke plume looks familiar, you're right- that's a frog.
It was captured on September 7, 2013 during the launch of the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft. The craft will enter orbit around the Moon’s equator in order to study the exosphere and dust particles in the area.
For all of us, since NASA has opened an Instagram account. While looking at the awe inspired photo of a frog, being launched into the air while the LADEE spacecraft is taking off to orbit around the moon, is nothing less than spectacular. And in today's world of photo-bombing, this little guy happens to take the cake.
