Spotted: SpaceX launch in the sky above Menlo Park

Emails Bill Wohler: “My eye caught an unusual jellyfish-like cloud on my walk home from the train station last night, which I guessed was a rocket launch from Vandenberg.

“Sure enough, at 6:09 pm a SpaceX Falcon 9 launched some more Starlink satellites from that location.

“I recently learned that four to five Starlink satellites de-orbit every day. Seems like an expensive way to run a railroad!”

Here’s a link to information about space weather reporting that Bill supplied.
