What's that glowing in the sky? A "space jellyfish"! The jellyfish-shaped cloud appears when a rocket launches at dawn or dusk – a stunning blend of science and nature. Following the roar of China's Smart Dragon-3 rocket on the evening of April 11 from waters off Yangjiang, south China's Guangdong Province, a photographer in Wenchang – about 150 kilometers from the launch site – captured this amazing moment.
Saturday's launch sent a test satellite into orbit to boost satellite internet tech.
