Did you see the "space jellyfish" in the sky this morning?
SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket with Starlink satellites aboard into space on Wednesday morning from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
As the rocket flew through the atmosphere, FOX 35 readers and viewers captured dozens of photos and videos of the vibrant blue jellyfish-like phenomena in the sky. We've showcased many of them below.
FOX 35 meteorologist Brooks Garner said the space jellyfish phenomenon forms due to the sunlight high in the atmosphere reflecting off the exhaust from the rocket. Brooks noted that the effect was likely seen in Georgia and along the U.S.'s northeastern coast.
'Space jellyfish' over Florida after SpaceX rocket launch
SpaceX launched its Starlink satellites into space on Wednesday morning from Florida. As the exhaust from the rocket reflected with the sunline, it created a "space jellyfish" in the sky -- leading to phenomenal videos and photos.
SpaceX's rocket launched around 5:43 a.m. this morning from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
