Look up! Philly area sees NASA rocket launch Sunday night

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… a Starlink NASA rocket launch.

Due to the clear skies on Sunday night, Philly area residents were able to see NASA’s rocket launch.

NASA launched Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral in Florida at 9:56 p.m. The rocket’s path made it viewable for most of the east coast.
