🚀 SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket Launch
• The Mission: This flight is the CRS-35 cargo resupply mission operated by SpaceX for NASA. The uncrewed Dragon capsule carries more than 6,300 pounds of scientific research equipment, crew supplies, and solar arrays to the International Space Station (ISS).
• The "Space Jellyfish" Plume: The brilliant, expanding oval shape seen from Jacksonville, Florida, occurs when a rocket launches roughly an hour before sunrise. While the ground is still dark, the rocket climbs to a very high altitude where the sunlight illuminates the expanding gas trail (exhaust made of water v***r and carbon dioxide) against the dark night sky.
• The Multicolored Cloud: The glowing white halo surrounding the tip marks the rocket's forward trajectory, while the distorted, shimmering blue-and-orange plume trailing on the right is caused by high-altitude atmospheric winds twisting the expanding exhaust plume
