Dawn Jellyfish: SpaceX's Starlink Launch Colors the Florida Sky
TL;DR Summary
SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral in the early hours of July 9, 2026 (5:25 a.m. EDT). The rocket’s exhaust cooled and froze into ice crystals, creating a spectacular plume that, when lit by sunrise, looked like a glowing jellyfish in the night sky. It’s a natural byproduct of rocket launches, not an extraterrestrial visitation.
