We don't see much space stuff here apart from the occasional post of NASA
pictures so this set is a bit of a change of pace.

The photographs show the launch of a PRC Chang Zheng (Long March) rocket.

If you were paying attention, you might have noticed that a Chang Zheng
launched China's third Beidou navigation satellite a couple of weeks ago.

Beidou means Big Dipper (the Plough) and shouldn't be confused with Baidu,
the Chinese search engine which has recently upset Google.
