If you look into the sky tonight you may see an unusual sight.
According to NASA, tonight's launch of a Minotaur V Rocket from Virginia's Wallops Flight Facility will be visible up and down the East Coast, including Connecticut.
Liftoff is scheduled for 11:27 tonight, and the rocket will be visible in the night sky 45 seconds to one minute after the launch. NASA advises watching the launch on NASA TV or at NASA.gov and then start looking 15 degrees above the horizon in the south/southwest sky.
Your best bet for a clear shot of the rocket is along the shoreline of Connecticut.
The ultimate destination for tonight's rocket launch is the moon, where a module will spend 100 days monitoring the moons atmosphere, and measuring lunar dust. Tonight's moon launch from Virginia is a first - almost every moon mission has launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
