The Sounding Rocket launch at the Wallops Flight Facility has been delayed until tomorrow morning due to weather conditions.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the cloud experiment requires clear skies for scientists to be able to see the red and blue-green vapors that will track the motion of particles in space.

The experiment is expected to be visible in the mid-Atlantic region from New York to North Carolina.

The launch is now set to take place in the 4 o’clock hour tomorrow morning.
