WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Multiple WPTV viewers were mesmerized Thursday morning by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch at the Kennedy Space Center that produced a "jellyfish effect" seen across Florida.
Just before 5:30 Thursday morning, SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites into orbit. The booster from that Falcon rocket landed on a drone in the ocean. This is the company's most-used booster, having been used 36 times already.
WPTV First Alert Weather meteorologist Sami Squires said the rocket launch has to be at a specific time to produce the bright "jellyfish" cloud that is often seen during these early-morning launches.
