Details:
The evening of June 21st, Mars, Venus, and the crescent Moon formed a triangle in the West through hazy skies (Venus was about three degrees from the Moon). Then at 5:18 AM the next morning a Delta 4-Heavy was launched at Cape Canaveral about 20 miles to the East (the pentultimate launch of the Delta rocket ever). About 10 minutes later and an hour before sunrise, the higher portions of the rocket's exhaust became illuminated by the sun, producing noctilucent clouds around Jupiter.
