 +The perfect conditions
 +Both the jellyfish and the spiral require specific lighting conditions to be visible to human eyes. A viewer must be standing in darkness while the rocket is high up, catching glints of sunshine beyond the horizon.
 +
 +“It tends to be early evening or dawn, not the middle of the night,” when the phenomena appear, McDowell said.

 +And, McDowell noted, the light shows can trick our brains into thinking the rockets are closer to the ground than they actually are.
 +“We’re so used to seeing airplanes, subconsciously,​ when we see this thing in the sky; we’re thinking that it’s not that much higher than an airplane,​” McDowell said of the spiral phenomenon. Onlookers may think the rocket is “maybe 10 or 20 miles up, when it’s really 200 miles up.”

 +How to see a rocket’s glare
 +Catching a glimpse of a rocket-related light show can be tough since it requires precise timing and a bit of luck.
 +
 +But the number of launches has already increased rapidly — rising from a peak of less than 150 per year in the 20th century to more than 250 last year, according to statistics McDowell has compiled.
 +
 +And Combs said he hopes audiences will continue to be drawn in by the strange light shows the rockets produce.
 +
 +“I love it when people are taking an interest in space,” he said. “I encourage folks to keep asking questions.”
