This is great! The image is clear and well-composed and captures the beauty of the SpaceX launch. The lighting is perfect, showing the details of the rocket and the surrounding sky.

I wonder what caused that zeppelin-shaped figure to form?

It's simply a reformed rocket "contrail", short for "condensation-trail". The reformation formed as a result of high-altitude cross-winds, gently smearing the contrail.

It's a visually fortunate, coincidetal confluence of the rocket's plume and a gentle wind.

I haven't been around here in a while, thanks for the comments!
