People on the East Coast woke to a strange glow on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 6:33 a.m. EDT from Florida.
The Dragon craft carried more than 6,300 pounds of supplies.
The cargo holds the last pair of new roll-out solar arrays.
The ground was dark, but the high sky was already in sunlight.
High up, the air is very thin, so the trail grew into a jellyfish shape.
A launch near sunrise can glow like this. A noon launch would not.
Viewers in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey shared photos.
It touched down about seven minutes after liftoff. People heard sonic booms.
The Dragon craft will link with the Harmony module around 11 a.m. EDT.
Then the craft will head home and splash down off California in mid-November.
