On October 13, 2026, SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Dragon cargo spacecraft as part of NASA's CRS-35 mission. The launch took place in the pre-dawn hours, and thanks to the special illumination from the rising sun, the rocket's exhaust plumes formed an unusual visual pattern in the sky resembling a jellyfish. This phenomenon was captured by observers from Cocoa Beach, Florida, which offers a good view of the spaceport. The CRS-35 mission is part of NASA's commercial cargo transportation program, through which SpaceX regularly delivers cargo, equipment, and scientific experiments to the International Space Station. Such visual effects from rocket launches at dawn or dusk are a common occurrence, caused by the fact that solar rays illuminate the rocket's contrail and exhaust gases at high altitude, while observers on the ground are still in darkness. This creates a striking and spectacular sight that attracts the attention of both professional photographers and casual witnesses to the launch.
