*Tournesol*'s moon rocket on the launchpad (3 total, with artist's site)
It's professor Calculus' space ship from Destination Moon of course, from the Tintin series.
The rocket is so iconic of Tintin that I find it easily over-represented at times, but this one stopped me in my tracks, as I'd never seen a photo-realistic attempt before; especially a night-view. Just a slight bit of upscaling added, and Robert's your avuncular figure.*

I thought this all might be AI at first, but thankfully, I'm not acting the goat this time.
In fact it's professional animator Erik Wernquist's work, with more here:

And one more boffo piece I stumbled upon... I believe this one by someone named Anton Hebert Baron.
