nasa.gov

There’s been another delay for the launch of a Sounding Rocket from Wallops Flight Facility.

It has now been postponed for tomorrow morning at around 4:30 a.m.

The rocket will release blue-green and red vapors as high as 124 miles above the earth to track the motion of particles in space.

The experiment requires clear skies and was postponed by weather conditions.

The colorful clouds will be visible in the mid-Atlantic region from New York to North Carolina.
