SpaceX is gearing up for an early morning Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, as part of an ongoing Starlink mission. The predawn timing means sky-watchers along the Space Coast could be treated to a striking view if skies are clear.
The Falcon 9 is SpaceX's workhorse rocket, routinely used to carry batches of Starlink internet satellites into low Earth orbit. Thursday's flight continues that steady cadence of launches that has made Cape Canaveral one of the busiest launch sites in the world.
Residents and visitors across much of Florida's east coast may be able to spot the rocket's bright exhaust plume climbing through the pre-sunrise sky, depending on local weather and viewing conditions.
