Rare Rocket Launch in Va. May Wow East Coast

A rare mid-Atlantic rocket launch could give Americans up and down the East Coast a special night sight next week, Space.com reports. NASA's launch of a spy satellite from Wallops Island in Virginia is scheduled after sunset Tuesday, with a window of 8 to 11pm. Similar events, mostly on the West Coast, have produced stunning contrails twisted by winds into strange patterns and colors. The launch will be visible as far west as Kentucky.
