Unless you spent your day under a rock on Tuesday, you probably already know that SpaceX successfully launched its largest rocket ever, the Falcon Heavy. Oh, and on that rocket was a Telsa Roadster, because why not?
Elon Musk shared the last image of the Roadster — equipped with a "Starman" at the wheel — before it spends the rest of eternity somewhere in space. Kind of haunting, kind of beautiful. May he ride forever, and not be blown to bits.

On Tuesday night Musk tweeted that the Falcon Heavy's payload "exceeded Mars orbit and kept going to the asteroid belt."

It's unclear exactly where the Roadster will end up on this road trip (space is really big!), but either way, the mission has been a major success.
