Tomorrow night NASA will be launching a rocket from Virginia at 7:58 that should be visible along the east coast if they skies cooperate. If it goes off as planned we should be able to see it in the sky for about 30-60 seconds after launch.
This mission is KiNet-X and the goal is to see how energy and momentum transports between regions of space connected magnetically... YEA smart stuff right? More simply it will help scientists understand things like Auroras (those fancy light shows sometimes we can see from Canada); how they're formed and how they move from place to place.
