There was a launch window of 2:13 to 6:13 in the morning Tuesday for SpaceX’s latest rocket launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emerging from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the rocket’s vapor trails were illuminated by the rising sun farther east.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This set off a unique view that might’ve caught you by surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not to worry! The rocket wasn’t falling. <\/p>\n

It was being launched east of the area. The curvature of the earth makes it appear as though it’s going completely sidewise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
