PHOENIX (AZFamily) \u2014 Don\u2019t forget to look out to the night sky Wednesday night for a SpaceX launch likely visible from Arizona.<\/p>\n

The private space exploration company is planning to launch 25 Starlink satellites<\/a> to low-Earth orbit around 8 p.m. The launch will take place from Vandenberg Space Force Base<\/a> in Southern California.<\/p>\n

The glowing path of many SpaceX launches are visible from Arizona by looking toward the southwest. <\/p>\n

SpaceX says it will begin a livestream of this mission around 5 minutes to liftoff. You can watch that through the company\u2019s X account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a chance that some Southern California residents in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear sonic booms during the launch, SpaceX says. <\/p>\n

The mission is dependent on factors like weather and wind, and the timing may change if warranted by the conditions. <\/p>\n
