The story so far

SpaceX is scheduled to launch its 100th Falcon 9 rocket of the year early on August 25. The launch will set a new record for rocket reusability, with the Falcon 9 booster on its 37th flight. The mission is part of SpaceX's ongoing Starlink satellite deployment, aiming to expand global internet coverage. The launch is expected to be visible from several U.S. states.

A 'jellyfish cloud' effect, caused by the rocket's exhaust, may be seen over New York and New Jersey. Viewers in North Carolina might also catch a glimpse of the launch. Spaceflight Now will provide live coverage of the event. The launch will affect residents in the northeastern United States who may witness the 'jellyfish cloud' phenomenon.

Space enthusiasts and those interested in satellite internet technology will also be watching. The next step is the actual launch and the deployment of the Starlink satellites, which will contribute to SpaceX's growing constellation in low Earth orbit.
