WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – If your eyes were on the sky Saturday night, you probably saw quite the sight.

People in Southeastern North Carolina had a clear view of the SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.

The rocket was launched hundreds of miles away in Florida at the Kennedy Space Center at 8:34 p.m.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carries satellites for the European Commission’s Galileo Constellation. The Galileo Constellation serves the same purpose as the United States Global Position System (GPS).
