"SpaceX Lights Up California Sky with Spectacular Satellite Launch"

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, creating a stunning visual display across Southern California as it carried 22 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit. The evening launch, delayed from the weekend due to a storm, illuminated the sky as the sun had only set 15 minutes earlier, providing a breathtaking sight for onlookers. The Starlink megaconstellation aims to deliver broadband internet using a network of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit, with the latest launch marking the 32nd Falcon 9 launch of 2024.
