Artemis 1 moon rocket launch will light up Florida coast (map)

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s planned launch of the Artemis 1 moon mission will light up the skies tonight, if all goes according to plan.

The massive 322-foot (98 meters) Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft will lift off during a two-hour window that opens at 1:04 a.m. EST (0604 GMT), if the current plan holds. The launch will illuminate the entirety of the Kennedy Space Center here in Florida but will also be visible for hundreds of miles around, according to a map released by NASA (opens in new tab) on Monday (Nov. 14).
