The launch was the record-tying 14th for this particular Falcon 9 first stage, but the views of the glowing twilight halo don't get old.
The event was also captured by observers thankfully more distant from the launch and landing, including some who caught the sunlit plumes but without the full jellyfish phenomena.
Shadows from Falcon9 rained down on the #SpaceCoast this evening as the rocket and its plume were high enough that the setting sun was still shining. pic.twitter.com/GSBgCpWHW0October 9, 2022
Video shot with my iPhone from 13 miles away. It takes about a minute for the sound to arrive and the sun to light up the plume. #SpaceX #Galaxy 33 and 34. pic.twitter.com/ickFowR9miOctober 8, 2022
A Falcon 9 could be in action again at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as soon as Friday night (Oct. 14), but the timing of that coming launch won't be conducive to more sky jellyfish.
