[GCARC] Antares Launch Tonight

[Jeff KB2M]

Cool. 
We were actually going to make the trip down there to Chincoteague to watch
the launch from a charter boat. We found out about this while visiting the
area during the summer on a vacation. But we instead got involved in the
sale of the Ocean View property. We will be watching tonight, thanks for the
heads up John.....

Orbital Sciences and NASA will be launching an Antares rocket from Wallops
Island, VA, tonight at approximately 1845 EDT.

The rocket will start off in the Southwestern portion of the sky, transiting
to the Southeast as it increases in altitude. The weather looks good for
both launch and visibility from the South Jersey area.

As a bonus, about 5 minutes later you should see the International Space
Station making the same path.

Thanks to Keith Johnson, director of the Edelman Planetarium at Rowan
University for the information.

73,
