Second Glorious Mystery. The Ascension.

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. They were still staring into the sky as he went when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them and they said, 'Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.'
(Ac 1:9-11)

Third Glorious Mystery. The Descent of the Holy Spirit.
