SpaceX Launch May Light North Carolina Skies at 5:05 a.m. Thursday

3 articles · Updated · WRAL News · Jul 8

A SpaceX rocket launch could be visible from central and eastern North Carolina early Thursday, with the launch window opening at 5:05 a.m.
The best chance to see it comes if liftoff happens right as the window opens, because the rocket will head east and the low pre-sunrise sun can illuminate its vapor trail.
Visibility odds fall the later the launch occurs, with local sunrise in North Carolina set for 6:07 a.m.
