Spacer Video: Jellyfish - Palletjack from Tucson, AZ - SpaceX CSG-3 - Vandenberg Space Force Base

Our Spacer Palletjack has been doing videos for months from Tucson, Arizona (US), when at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, it is lifting a rocket. On January 2, 2026, he had excellent luck, filming from a distance of 450 to 470 miles (about 725 to 755 kilometers) from his hometown, Tucson, a so-called "Jellyfish" stage of the Falcon 9 rocket in the dark sky. Jellyfish-Effects come up when a launch is short after sunset or short before sunrise. The ground is in the dark, the sun is low on the horizon, but because the rocket is higher, its exhaust gases are illuminated by the sun. Thanks for sending the video.
