March 4, 2026 - A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Starlink 10-40 mission successfully launches from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida with sunlight illuminating the first-stage exhaust plume at high altitude creating the "jellyfish" effect visible in the sky. It was the 25th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission. Image created by USA Patriotism! from U.S. Space Force photos by Gwendolyn Kurzen.
