On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, 6:33 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched successfully from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The rocket was on a resupply mission to the International Space Station.
The sky was perfectly clear as I waited for the rocket to appear. Just a few minutes after launch the Falcon 9 lit up the sky with it’s exhaust plume known as a Space Jellyfish.
What an amazing way to start a Tuesday morning!
