'All Eyes in the Sky': SpaceX Rocket Launch Creates Jellyfish-Like Cloud over Florida
The CRS-35 cargo mission carried more than 6,300 pounds of supplies and equipment to the International Space Station, NASA said.
- On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 6:33 a.m., creating a glowing "jellyfish effect" visible across Florida during the CRS-35 cargo mission to the International Space Station.
- Sunlight rising below the horizon illuminates rocket exhaust plumes high in the atmosphere while the ground remains dark, creating a shimmering, bluish-orange display visible across the East Coast and beyond.
- The Cargo Dragon spacecraft is delivering about 6,500 pounds of supplies and scientific experiments, including the final pair of International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays to increase the station's available electrical power.
- About eight minutes after liftoff, the first-stage booster completed its eighth flight, landing at Landing Zone 40. SpaceX warned residents in Brevard and Orange counties of potential sonic booms during the recovery.
- NASA expects the Dragon to dock at the International Space Station around 11 a.m. Thursday, October 15, after a 52-hour flight. The mission fills a docking port vacated last week when Crew-12 departed.
