On the evening of March 18th, a spectacular sight unfolded across Southern California (SoCal) as a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The rocket's exhaust plume, illuminated by the setting sun, transformed into a dazzling spectacle visible for hundreds of miles.
Imagine a glowing trail, like a giant jellyfish, streaking across the darkening sky. This plume was the result of the rocket's powerful engines burning off fuel as it ascended into space. Skywatchers from Los Angeles to Arizona caught glimpses of this phenomenon, some even capturing it on video [YouTube]. The sight was a stunning reminder of humanity's push into space exploration.
