Original Note:
This is a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in twilight. The smaller light seen initially is the first stage, performing a boost-back burn, and the rings are the reaction control system keeping it straight. The second light, to the bottom of the screen, is the second stage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_phenomenon#:~:text=A%20twilight%20phenomenon%20is%20produced,the%20less%20dense%20upper%20atmosphere.
