SpaceX launches, often create spectacular artificial noctilucent clouds (NLCs) in the upper atmosphere. These "night-shining" clouds form when rocket exhaust releases water vapor 50+ miles up into the mesosphere, where it freezes into ice crystals and catches sunlight, creating glowing, blue,, "jellyfish" patterns seen after sunset or before sunrise. This morning a Falcon 9 Block5/SpaceX launch at 5:33 a.m. this morning. This was a batch of 29 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation-SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system
