Spectacular Sky Show of SpaceX Launch (star sapphire effect!)
SpaceX Booster Return Rocket Trail
On Saturday morning in the predawn hour of 5:21 am SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station here on Florida’s east coast. The sight was spectacular – WOW!!! The rocket trail was illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon. The glow in the bottom picture is from the booster return landing on the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” offshore, which at that point was 350 miles away! Fifty-eight Starlink satellites and 3 Planet SkySats were sent into orbit.

Fantastic photos! What an amazing sight to see! We watched the launch with the two astronauts on tv and the next day watched the docking with the space station. I had goose bumps the whole time.
Me too! It is the most exciting thing, and never ever gets old!
By the way, the first fully operational Crew-1 flight of the Dragon will be on August 30th with later splashdown at sea!
Thank you! I’ll be watching!
That is spectacular!
It was a beautiful sight! Happy dance!
What fantastic photos of the Space X. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by!
How cool is that! You are so lucky to have seen it let alone take such fantastic pictures!
Thank you! We love watching launches!
Beautiful! It must have been amazing to watch.
It was gorgeous! Much more of a show than we expected!
Although we live in Florida, we saw this only on TV. Your photographs are absolutely spectacular! Thank you for sharing.
Awww – thank you! It really was amazing! We love living on the Space Coast.
Hopefully there will be continued excitement with more future launches!
Oh definitely! The Mars lander launches at the end of July. It will include a flying drone to photograph the surface of Mars – cool! And then in August the first fully crewed SpaceX Dragon will launch and later splash down at sea.
You are really a resource for the Space Coast activities, Pam. Thanks!
Thanks! 🙂
