He told 12News the reason the SpaceX rockets light up the sky is not because the engines burn brightly , it's because of something called the Twilight Phenomenon. Basically, the rocket launches far away, in California. but it goes so high that we can see it in Arizona. And when we see it, it's not in the shadow of nightfall, even though Arizona is.
