Space Jellyfish Forecast
When a rocket launches during twilight (roughly 20-45 minutes after sunset or before sunrise), its exhaust plume rises into sunlit upper atmosphere while the ground below is already dark. The result is a glowing, translucent shape that expands across the sky — often called a "Space Jellyfish." This forecast checks whether upcoming launches align with those conditions.
Each strip shows sky conditions across 24 hours. The dashed line marks launch time.

Sky is dark but the sun below the horizon still lights the exhaust plume — ideal for a glowing jellyfish effect
Optimal twilight timing with clear skies (27 min from sunrise)
