Watching rocket launches from Miami, FL
From Miami the Cape is roughly 300 km north — too far for daytime launches, but night launches (especially Falcon Heavy or Starship-class vehicles) are regularly visible as a slow-moving flame low on the north-northeast horizon 2–4 minutes after liftoff. A dark beach with a clear northern view works best. Distances are approximate.
