Details:

SpaceX launched the COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation Mission this evening from Vandenberg SFB in California. The launch was after the end of twilight so the rocket had to climb a fair bit before it caught sunlight.

Bonus: Starlink Group 6-99 marched across the western sky moments before and during the launch.
