This Athena Launch from Alaska's Kodiak Island today (Saturday) might be SPECTACULAR in the western sky after sunset if launch occurs later in the launch window. Launch is scheduled between 6pm PDT and 8pm. If the launch occurs between 7:20 and 8pm PDT, it cound be very spectacular as the boost phase occurs as the rocket travels down the West Coast, reaching as high as 15 degrees above the horizon.
