I saw in the local news this morning that NASA was launching a supply rocket to the ISS from Wallops Island, VA that was supposed to be visible from here in Raleigh. It was supposed to be visible from about 2 minutes after the launch time until the first stage of the rocket burned out at 3 minutes. All I expected to see was a bright dot of light climbing up from the horizon.
I was in the right kind of elevated place before the designated time, with a clear unobstructed view of the northeast horizon (as per the directions in the news story) & I had my camera ready. The skies were mostly clear - a few cumulus clouds, but not enough to block the horizon. I gave it plenty of time. I was there 5 minutes ahead of time & waited until 10 minutes after the launch time. Still, I didn't see it, and obviously I didn't get any photos. Anyone else catch this? -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
