Alex Krivenyshev woke up before sunrise Monday morning. Good decision. He saw a rocket over Manhattan:
NASA scrubbed the initial Antares launch yesterday Nov 6 due to a fire alarm. Yesterday’s weather prospective was much better in the tri-state area (New York) so it would have been better skies. With an unfavorable weather forecast for the tri state area for its revised launch window – Nov 7, (some showers and cloudy skies), there was uncertainty as to what could be seen in the early morning skies over Manhattan. However, those who woke up at 5:35 a.m. were treated to a spectacular show lasting 30-40 sec., with an amazing spiral vapor trail from a separated booster rocket viewed above New York City this morning.

It was a Northrop Grumman Antares rocket carrying a Cygnus resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station.
The launch from Wallops Island, Virginia, was visible from much of the US eastern seaboard.
“There was uncertainty as to what could be seen in the early morning skies over Manhattan,” says Krivenyshev. “However, those who woke up at 5:35 a.m. were treated to a spectacular show lasting 30-40 seconds with an amazing spiral vapor trail from a separated booster rocket viewed above New York City.”
The Cygnus spacecraft carried some unusual science experiments to the ISS headlined by a human tissue bioprinter.
During its first trip to space in 2019, the BioFabrication Facility successfully printed a partial human knee meniscus and a large number of human heart cells.
The 2019 flight confirmed that microgravity printing produces higher-quality tissue samples compared to those printed on the ground.
Researchers are eager to conduct additional tests in 2022.

I went and grabbed my phone and it was absolutely beautiful and amazing! Unfortunately my camera phone didn’t show how really amazing they lit up the sky! Picture via Space Weather gallery
Actually yesterday night another amazing sky phenomena was visible over the US…
