Some who were out looking at the predawn sky Tuesday had questions about what they saw. Was it a comet? A meteor? It was neither.
SpaceX Falcon 9 launched its 1,000th Starlink into low Earth orbit around 5:30 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The rocket left a colorful vapor trail in the sky seen over much of Florida and Georgia.
