SpaceX Rocket Makes Sky 'Jellyfish'
A SpaceX rocket went up from Florida on Tuesday. It was early in the morning. The sun was not up yet. The rocket made a bright cloud. It looked like a jellyfish. Many people saw it.
Why did this happen? The rocket makes gas with water in it. High up, the sky is very cold. The water turns into ice. The sun shines on the ice. The cloud is not dangerous.
The rocket took a small spaceship to the space station. No people were in the spaceship. It had food and other things. It should get there on Thursday.
