Overnight, SpaceX launched their Falcon 9 rocket carrying four astronauts aboard Dragon, bound for the International Space Station.
While most of us were fast asleep, some incredible photos were captured of the launch from Disney World!
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket could be seen flying over the parks, and some out of this world pictures (pun totally intended) were snapped of Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom as well as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Photographers David Roark and Kent Phillips snapped the photos, which were then shared on Fox 35 Orlando.
After the rocket launch had taken place, you could still see some of the vapor trail as the sun was starting to rise over Disney World.
The vapor trails could also be seen above Cinderella Castle!
Disney Parks also gave the two photographers a shout out on Twitter this morning!

How cool is that? While most of us will never experience what a true rocket launch is like, we can always head over to Mission: SPACE in EPCOT for a simulated ride into space!
