Separation/Start of Boost Back

The second stage, carrying the Cargo Dragon 2 spacecraft to the ISS, blasts away from the first stage as it starts its boost back burn to land on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. The rocket created this distinct "jellyfish" effect in the sky thanks to the way that the already set sun hits the gases exhausted by the craft and made it easily visible all the way from Freeport, in the Bahamas, despite being over 200-300 miles away at this point.
