If you're on the US East Coast, you might be able to see a moon launch tonight. It's the first moon launch from NASA's Virginia spaceport, and will be taking off at 11:27 pm ET.
ETA: that link also includes info on how to watch the live launch on tv or the web, and links to NASA apps that will let you watch on your phone. /ETA
Here's a map of the area where people are likely to be able to see it. This covers a pretty wide swath up -- up to northern Vermont, out to eastern Ohio, down to south of Myrtle Beach. The further out you are in the circle, the later the viewing (for values of "later" that mean "a minute or two after takeoff").
It will probably look more like a light in the sky than like this, though:
( animated version because I couldn't resist trying this )
And in the space-y spirit, I just saw a notice go by on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomcalendar about a new multimedia exchange, with a nice long deadline for building up to:
space_swap, "a multimedia exchange for space fandoms of all sorts, including television series, movies, and books. The only criterion for a fandom to be eligible is that it somehow be related to SPACE."
