'Space jellyfish' cloud spotted in morning sky

Original: Did you spot the ‘space jellyfish’ cloud in the sky this morning?

Skywatchers are being asked whether they caught a rare 'space jellyfish' glowing cloud in the sky this morning. The phenomenon occurs when rocket exhaust freezes and expands in the upper atmosphere, catching sunlight before dawn and creating a bright, jellyfish-like shimmer. Sightings like this typically draw widespread attention from stargazers sharing photos and comparing locations.

Why now: A striking rocket-exhaust cloud was visible in the morning sky, prompting people to share sightings and photos.
