SpaceX Launch Viewing Pre-Dawn

Previous posts about evening launches here and here.

On Friday January 24 2025 SpaceX had a launch from Vandenberg at 6:07am. Sunrise that day was 6:51am. So the launch was 44 minutes before sunrise. I suspected that the jellyfish effect would be similar to the moments after sunset.

I was right. It might have been the most spectacular launch view I have had yet.

The two bright points of light are the fairings.
