![A DSLR camera of NASA photographer Bill Ingalls got melted as it captured SpaceX’s launch of a recycled Falcon 9 rocket with five Iridium satellites atop it into orbit in California on May 22, 2018. Bill Ingalls set up a remote camera to capture the launch, but the Canon 5DS DSLR and pricey L lens used for the close-up got melted as the result of a fire.
