Those are planes leaving contrails. They're bright because they're reflecting the light from the sunset.

Thank you for the answer. I didn't know I could view it from here in Toronto!

one of them is going straight up. would be unlikely

Yeah, the Toronto area was inside the visibility circle of a launch from there about 120 seconds or so after liftoff...

It's surprising how far away you can see those things...

I mean they are going into orbit so it takes a LOT of distance for the curvature of the earth to block the view of an orbital launch...

It's not. It's coming toward you, very high overhead.

damn that's amazing! thank you for sharing this info. I'm checking their website as I write this

Yeah, it was supposed to have launched last Sunday but got scrubbed due to weather...

Your perspective is off. It's a plane. It's ok.

That launch was delayed until January.

You can see a plane at the end of it

Good Lord.......I seriously hope you're kidding. Maybe pulling a prank on everyone and I fell for it. I hope you aren't serious.

Do you mean chemtrails?

Did it get scrubbed back again...?

What launched? The electron launch got moved to January.

Yes: https://spaceref.com/space-commerce/rocket-lab-reschedules-first-u-s-launch-for-january-2023-provides-update-on-effect-to-prior-q4-guidance/

Well actually the exhaust is made up of a kind of chemical...

got scrubbed to Janurary iirc

Yeah I just saw that...They were aiming for a 4pm window today so I just figured it went...

Didn't know they scrubbed it again...

Wallops sure does have trouble launching on schedule...

The weather around here sucks...lol

Man Wallops has a hard time making launch windows...

The weather around here is just too unpredictable...

yo what are these commercial airplanes over my house

"Straight up" one is Delta Air Lines 132 (Airbus A330 DTW to AMS @ ~35,000 ft) and the other one is Delta Air Lines 133 (Airbus A350 AMS to DTW @ 38,000 ft)

It wasn't a launch from Wallops. I live much much closer and have watched many launches. You would have to be pretty close for a launch to look like this. Also, no launch took place on the 20th.

OMG! Di-hydrogen MONOXIDE!? Alert the Coast-to-Coast Fan base!

These are planes flying over your house.

I see they scrubbed it now...

For some reason instead of mentioning that I was downvoted into oblivion...lol

People are so salty tonight...

Whenever I see posts like this I wonder if the person asking has just come out of 70 years in a coma and has never seen a passenger jet airplane before.

These are just airplanes, nothing related to space.

Aren't contrails from wingtip vortesies? Or is it the engine exhaust?

Can I get some of your weed? Those are planes.

You’d be surprised. I can understand how the perspective and lighting could be confusing in this instance.

I’ve got this one girl on my Facebook who has posted a few times pictures of contrails asking what they were (but claiming they definitely aren’t contrails). I tried explaining to her once that they definitely are contrails but she didn’t buy it so I stopped trying after that.

They use di-hydrogen monoxide in nuclear power plants.

That shits lethal.

Yes, 100% of the humans exposed to it DIE!
