Were you lucky enough to see the SpaceX launch early Friday morning?

The early morning light and reflection of the rocket's trail was a photographer's dream in the West Coast.

Many viewers across the Central Valley sent KMPH videos and photos.

A Falcon Nine Rocket carrying 23 Starlink Satellites lifted off from Vandenburg Space Force Base.

The satellites will enter a low-earth orbit for the Space X Constellation Network for internet connections.

Following stage separation, the rocket's first stage booster landed safely on the drone ship off the coast about eight minutes after launch.

Friday's launch was the fourth from Vandenburg and the 23rd flight for the first stage booster.
