Wow! SpaceX launch creates fascinating ‘space jellyfish’ Remember the “space jellyfish” created from a SpaceX launch just a couple of weeks ago? Well, there’s a chance to see it again on Monday night! But let’s see if he will have clear skies to see it. SpaceX is planning a Falcon 9 launch from mission USSF-423 on Monday, November 2, with a four-hour launch window starting at 5:42 p.m. PST. With our clocks changing and the end of daylight saving time, an earlier sunset means the launch window will be during twilight, perfect for catching “space jellies.” The sky will be dark, but the rocket exhaust will be high enough in the sky to still catch sunlight, making the glowing “space jellyfish” visible to people from hundreds of miles away. The launch will take place at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, but much of the West will have the opportunity to spot the “space jellyfish.” Clear skies and the best visibility to catch the launch. Some trouble spots: Parts of Southern California, including Los Angeles, as well as Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, are forecast to have some clouds in the sky during the launch, but there should be enough breaks in the clouds to be able to spot the “space jellyfish.” Storms will move through Colorado on Monday night, bringing rain and high-altitude snow to the region, so you’ll likely miss your chance to see the launch.
