The move comes as some venues have switched from fireworks to drone shows — in which a fleet of drones performs a choreographed light show — to celebrate the 4th of July.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket on Monday night, once again creating a light show for Southern California and even those hundreds of miles away.

A Falcon 9 has previously caused a stir in Southern California with the light show it left in its wake.

The light show evokes the work of abstract artist Piet Mondrian.

But Dr Chris North from Cardiff University says astronomers around the world are poised to catch the light show, which will allow them to study this star in more detail than ever before.
