Best space jellyfish ever?? 🪼

This was the best space jellyfish 🪼 that I have ever seen! It was spotted up and down the entire east coast! I photographed the launch from the NASA causeway. At 6:33am, a tiny bit of blue was creeping into the sky and by the time the jellyfish was doing its thing and especially by the time the booster landed, some nicer color came into play. This mission is a critical resupply mission brining solar panels, science experiments, and most importantly, hummus, to the International Space Station!
