Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, that's a frog photobombing a recent rocket launch in
America. And no, it's not a joke. NASA has confirmed this snap is actually a genuine
image. The frog appears to have been thrown into the air during the take of a LADEE spacecraft
from Virginia last weekend. It's thought the frog may have been resting in a water pool
on the launchpad. A spokesperson for NASA says the photo team has confirmed the frog
is real and was captured in a single frame by one of the remote cameras. However, they
said the condition of the frog is uncertain. But we're being optimistic, and we reckon
he's happy orbiting around the Earth.
