Some dismal weather has pushed NASA’s launch of the Antares rocket to very early this weekend.

The launch from the Virginia Space Mid-Atlantic Spaceport has been delayed until Saturday, at 4:01AM. It had been scheduled for Thursday.

A map shows if conditions are clear enough, it will be seen within a couple minutes of launch time, depending on where in New Jersey you're watching from.

The rocket is set to lift off with a Cygnus supply ship heading for the International Space Station. About 7,400 pounds of crew supplies and hardware has been loaded up, including critical science and research investigations. The cargo craft's arrival at the station is now expected to happen on Monday.
