..well, the light from the rocket anyway.

It’s blasting off from an island in Virginia and we should be able to see it sometime after 8 p.m.

A NASA rocket may be visible in Massachusetts Tuesday. Here's how to see it.

A NASA suborbital sounding rocket that was scheduled to launch Monday night in Virginia, but was postponed until Tuesday, is expected to be visible throughout much of the eastern United States, including Massachusetts. The four-stage Black Brant XII rocket is slated to launch at 8:05 p.m.
