Staunton skywatcher captures SpaceX launch visible from Virginia
A glowing SpaceX rocket visible from the Shenandoah Valley sky sent Staunton resident Robbi Farrell scrambling for her phone Tuesday morning, just nine minutes after a Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida . As a longtime space enthusiast, Farrell immediately recognized what she was seeing when she spotted the rocket crossing the predawn sky around 6:42 a.m. She quickly pulled over near the intersection of Commerce Street and Statler Boulevard by the stockyards so she could take photos. "Isn't that phenomenal?" Farrell said. "I'm always looking up so I was so excited to see this in the sky, but I was in traffic, so I had to pull over. It was pitch dark out." The rocket launched at 6:33 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida as part of SpaceX's CRS-35 mission, carrying a Dragon spacecraft bound for the International Space Station. The mission is delivering more than 6,300 pounds of science experiments, supplies and equipment, including the final pair of International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays that will help increase the station's power supply. Farrell's photos captured several stages of the flight, including the period before stage separation and the bright burst of light created
