Description: SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, deploying 23 Starlink satellites. The evening launch created a breathtaking "space jellyfish" effect, as the rocket's exhaust plume expanded and illuminated against the twilight sky. This rare phenomenon occurs when rockets are launched near sunset, producing striking, glowing trails visible across the region.
