🚀 Heads up, Connecticut! From Meteorologist Kevin Arnone: A SpaceX Falcon 9 is set to launch tonight at 7:34 PM, carrying another batch of Starlink satellites on a northeast trajectory. If all goes on time, the rocket’s bright exhaust plume should be visible from our area. ⏱ Look 4–8 minutes after launch 👀 Face the southeastern sky 🌤 Clear skies = best chance Launches can slip, so timing matters. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Starlink #RocketLaunch #LookUp

🚀 Friday the 13th launch! A SpaceX Falcon 9 lifts off at 5:15 AM headed for the International Space Station. By ~5:25 AM it’ll be near New England, climbing to nearly 200 km in just 10 minutes. Look up and southeast before sunrise. Clearer pockets possible in GA, PA, DE, NY, VA, Southern New England & ME. Inland = tougher. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Crew12 #ISS #RocketLaunch #LookUp
