Glowing ‘jellyfish’ cloud follows SpaceX cargo launch
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launched from Florida before dawn on Tuesday at 6:33 a.m. ET, carrying cargo to the International Space Station. Expanding fuel exhaust crystallized in the sky, and its frozen particles reflected sunlight. This created a luminous, jellyfish-shaped cloud that stretched for miles and was visible off the US east coast.
