This is the CRS13 Falcon9 approximately 2 minutes into flight.
At 10:36 am on December 15, 2017, SpaceX successfully launched the #CRS13 payload atop a "flight-proven" Falcon9 booster. The Dragon capsule (also flight-proven) is bound for the International Space Station and contains scientific experiments and supplies for the astronauts onboard.
This launch was the debut of the renovated SLC-40, which has been undergoing repairs following a pad mishap on September 1, 2016.
Approximately 9 minutes later, the Falcon9 first stage would successfully land at SpaceX's "LZ1," treating the Space Coast of Florida to two sonic booms as the first stage descended.

I thought about turning it sideways to make it into a panorama, but it is too disorienting.
