    At apod site they say...


    An ongoing discussion about them can be joined
    here in APOD's discussion board
    the Asterisk.

    A leading hypothesis holds that the ripples resulted from a
    sonic boom created as the rocket broke the
    sound barrier,
    which then jumbled a thin layer of
    ice crystals
    that were aligned to create the
    sundog.
