After many delays that disappointed space fans around the U.S.,Mere Sapno Ki Rani (2023) Hindi Web Series NASA finally managed to launch its mission early Thursday to, for the first time, create ephemeral, glowing clouds.
In other words, NASA created human-caused auroras, of sorts.
The suborbital sounding rocket took flight at 4:25 a.m. ET Thursday from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia and released its payload -- which consisted of 10 vapor-filled canisters -- shortly afterwards.

The artificial auroras were seen by skywatchers up and down the East Coast of the United States.
"Wallops received nearly 2,000 reports and photos of the cloud sightings from areas as far north as New York, south to North Carolina, and inland throughout Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and points in-between," NASA said in a statement.
If you were out for an early morning stroll and happened to look up as the artificial clouds were created, you could probably be forgiven for thinking that you actually spotted a UFO.
The bright clouds created by this mission look somewhat eerie in video footage. The blinking auroras started off as a bright blue-green color and then fade to a deeper hue of blue in the sky.
It took NASA 11 launch attempts to get this mission off the ground, in part because of strict weather requirements.
Mission controllers needed totally clear skies for this launch in order to be assured that they would see the colorful vapor when it was released from the canisters.
And luckily, they got it on Thursday. Finally.
