This was the view from Cocoa Beach as a Falcon 9 rocket sent a batch of Starlink satellites to space.

The Full Moon is beautiful tonight, seen here over the Space Coast of Florida at 8:46pm (ET) as the International Space Station and its crew of 7 passed overhead.
Traveling @ ~17,500mph, it took less than 3/4 sec for the ISS to transit the face of the Moon.
