NASA is about to launch bright colored clouds into the universe

The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will launch a missile to create colorful clouds and luminescence on the evening of June 13 (local time) after delaying it due to bad weather.

The rocket launcher was originally scheduled to launch around 9 pm on June 12 (Eastern American time) from NASA's Wallops launcher on the Virginia coast, USA.

However, NASA decided to postpone at the last minute because clouds covered the observation sites and said they would proceed to launch on the evening of June 13. Four previous missile launches were also unsuccessful for various reasons.

According to the plan, a few minutes after the missile is launched, NASA will release chemicals inside 10 metal boxes the size of soda cans inside missiles.

These chemicals will mix with the atmosphere to create artificial color clouds to help scientists track the movement of air above. NASA said the rocket launch will support further research on the ionosphere and the aurora.

The luminescent clouds will create a unique scene in the American East Coast sky, stretching from New York to North Carolina. Residents of this area can see colorful clouds or even a light like aurora about 4 minutes after the rocket is launched.
