The rocket blasted off from's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 3:01 p.m. EDT. Due to the three-hour time difference between Florida and Washington State, it could be feasible that the rocket was seen over Seattle after or around 6 p.m.
"Targeting Tuesday, May 4 at 3:01 p.m. EDT for Falcon 9 launch of 60 Starlink satellites from LC-39A in Florida,"The rocket stands at an impressive 70 meters tall and could account for the"straight string of lights" observed in the sky.in another step towards building its vast Starlink satellite internet network.
The satellites were packed into the payload section of a Falcon 9 rocket, which lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 11:44 p.m. EDT Wednesday night on April 28. SpaceX is known for its reusable space technology, and that particular Falcon 9 had flown six times before. It was also the fourth time that that rocket had delivered Starlink satellites into space.
The starlink satellites that were deployed on last week's mission had a slightly different appearance to ones that had been delivered before them; they had been painted white for thermal reasons. That could make them appear brighter in the sky.
That means I also viewed a similar one last night while Evening Walk. Visible in Night Sky in India. I am always curious over anything new in Night Sky. Wish I could Capture it.
