Details:
Iridium Satellite flares may be a thing of the past, but that doesn't mean satellites aren't flaring. Seen flaring in this photo is a Chinese CZ-4C (Long March 4C) Rocket body launched in 2010. These beasts are quite large; 2.9 m in diameter and 14.8m long. The flare covered about 80 degrees of sky with my 14mm lens!
