Dawn jellyfish plume lights Florida sky during SpaceX Starlink launch
SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40 at 5:52 a.m. ET, just before sunrise, creating a dramatic jellyfish‑like plume lit by the sun; Booster 1080 completed its 25th flight and landed on the droneship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas,' marking SpaceX's 580th landing; the mission adds to the Starlink megaconstellation as SpaceX nears 10,000 satellites, and was the company’s 28th mission of 2026 with 23 Starlink launches this year.
