SpaceX has given us a few more dramatic looks at last week's Starship engine test.

SpaceX fired up Booster 9 — the latest prototype of its Starship first stage, known as Super Heavy — on Friday (Aug. 25) at its Starbase facility in South Texas. All 33 of Booster 9's Raptor engines engaged during the static fire test, which lasted for about six seconds.
