What Was That? SpaceX's Rocket Treats San Diegans to Stellar Show in The Sky

Did you look up at the night's sky on Thursday?

Many San Diegans and beyond were treated to quite a show last night after SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 aircraft into low-Earth orbit. Residents from Oceanside to Temecula to even in Sinaloa, Mexico submitted images to NBC 7 of the craft as it shot across the sky after sunset.

The Falcon 9 launch of 53 Starlink satellites launched from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

"Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean," Spacex's site read.
