Space Jellyfish in the Morning?

I hesitated to post about this, because the chance is rather small, but the timing of a rocket launch in the morning may make it possible for us to see the exhaust from the rocket lit by the sun. This has happened before here, though it is unusual. The rocket launches at 4:33 a.m. and would be visible here about five minutes later. They call these “space jellyfish” because that’s kinda what they look like.

Again, IF you’re up at that time it could be something to look for. I’d look southeast.

They can look similar to the photo below. From this distance, it would be much smaller and look farther away.

And this is the forecast for the possible visibility of the rocket’s exhaust.
