A Starlink launch Monday evening put on a show for many in the southwestern United States. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 10:28 pm EDT (0228 GMT Tuesday), deploying 22 Starlink satellites. The launch took place around dusk, creating a brilliant backlit plume as the rocket ascended. That plume was seen throughout southern California and as far away as Las Vegas and Phoenix.
