Who's up for an evening rocket launch? Weather permitting, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket should be visible from the Treasure Coast on Thursday, Feb. 5.
The launch on Monday (Feb. 2, Groundhog Day) began at Space Launch Complex 4 East from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Just like Punxsutawney Phil this year, the rocket "saw" its shadow, flying into a sunny blue sky at 10:47 a.m. EDT (1547 GMT or 7:47 a.m. PDT local time).
