    Another SpaceX rocket launch could be visible streaking across the sky in the Coachella Valley on Thursday night. A Falcon 9 rocket is slated to lift off during a window of time starting at 7:35 p.m.

    The launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County is scheduled to be the latest of several SpaceX launches visible in the valley, most recently in late June, giving desert residents a chance to see the rocket zoom by overhead and leave a vapor trail in its wake.

    The launch will be the 19th flight for the first stage booster supporting the mission, which includes 20 Starlink satellites. A live stream of the rocket launches has typically been available on SpaceX's X account (formerly Twitter) starting a few minutes before liftoff.
