This is kind of like those find the hidden objects games in the children's magazines!

See anything unusual?




NASA launched a Minotaur V rocket destined for the moon Friday, but it wasn’t alone.

Quote
The photobombing frog seems to have blasted off the ground along with the LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) spacecraft, which was launched from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. A person who noticed the photo wrote that the event took place near their hometown.

“Everyone was happy. A frog was not so lucky,” the person wrote.

If you’re wondering about the relative size of the frog compared to the rocket, LADEE is the size of a small car.

Universe Today further confirmed with NASA that the image is genuine, being taken from a remote NASA camera. What can’t be confirmed is the status of the frog — one can only hope.
