UPDATE:
@SpaceX
 is now targeting 5:26pm ET* (2226 UTC) for today’s launch of the Falcon 9 - Starlink 6-92 mission from LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center, FL.

🚨🪼Starlink 6-92 is currently scheduled for a 2226 UTC liftoff time.

At that T-0 a Twilight Effect Jellyfish would occur for places bounded within Charlotte, NC → Charleston, SC → Turks and Caicos → Haiti → Puerto Rico → British Virgin Islands

Note 🗒️ if the launch delays 30 minutes, Florida, Georgia and Cuba will have better viewing opportunities!

Keep an eye out for this one!
