The Wikipedia article Space Jellyfish shows the image below with the caption:

A California space jellyfish from 22 December 2017

I think that when other Q&A here have shown similar space jellyfishes, they've also been from California launches.

Have space jellyfishes been reported and photographed associated with launches from Florida as well? Would they be possible? Enquiring minds want to know!

Rule for deciding the plural form of “space jellyfish”? – uhoh Apr 02 '19 at 04:13

I think any launch at dawn or dusk could do this, but the time window is extended if the launch is toward the hidden sun (staying out of shadow). CA is mostly for polar (or retrograde) orbits, and FL for prograde, so CA would have longer time window at dusk, and FL at dawn. More eyes are open at dusk. – amI Apr 02 '19 at 09:14
@amI you could probably post that as a partial answer, I've made a small adjustment to the title. – uhoh Apr 03 '19 at 03:04

I'm no authority, but I now see that wikipedia shows jellyfishes in FL (and Russia) -- so obviously possible. – amI Apr 03 '19 at 06:17
@amI my offer still holds! – uhoh Jan 29 '20 at 12:00
