SpaceX launch creates 'space jellyfish' effect in sky
Original: SEE IT: SpaceX launch creates ‘space jellyfish’ effect
A SpaceX rocket launch produced a striking 'space jellyfish' effect, with the vehicle's exhaust plume expanding into a glowing, jellyfish-shaped cloud visible against the dark sky. Spectators shared footage of the phenomenon, which occurs when rocket exhaust is illuminated by sunlight at high altitude shortly after liftoff.
Why now: Visually dramatic rocket launches routinely draw widespread public attention and social media sharing
