Quote:SpaceX successfully launched additional Starlink satellites Wednesday, adding to its fleet of over 6,000 satellites providing internet connectivity to pizza box-sized antennas and now directly to cell phones. The launch took place at 4:55 a.m., just before sunrise, at a time for visibility in the Carolinas.
"We were able to see this because it happened at the perfect time," said WRAL meteorologist Chris Michaels. "Sunrise at RDU Wednesday is at 6:04 a.m., meaning that the sun had risen farther east. That sun being lower in the sky helped to illuminate the rocket trail, to where it was visible this far west."
