Jellyfish effect appears in the sky after rocket launch in Florida
The jellyfish effect can occur during rocket launches in the pre-dawn sky or during twilight.
When the timing is right — like it was Tuesday after the SpaceX Falcon 9 launched from Cape Canaveral at 6:33 a.m. — a glimmer of sunlight can illuminate the rocket's exhaust, creating the otherworldly effect.
Viewers across the state snapped photos and submitted them to WPTV. If you missed it, you can take a look at what they saw here 🪼 🚀
