Skywatchers in Florida and southern Georgia will have a shot. Check out this map to see when you should look up! Artemis II is targeted to launch no earlier than April 1 at 22:24 GMT.
I live in Melbourne, so yes! Very excited. I watched the first Artemis launch a few years ago at 2:00am from downtown and it looked like a time-lapsed sunrise. Truly incredible. I still have the video I took. Dolphins popped up out of the water literally as soon as I hit record!

The amount of people in Florida who will see this and still think the earth is flat is probably pretty high

Probably not here in Pennsylvania. It’s always cloudy or raining when meteor shower or launch events happen. Starting from today 3 days of rain and cloudy according to the forecast.🥲

I live in the Tampa Bay area and I can’t wait to try to see it!! I wish it was going up when it was dark though… Much easier to see that way.

I happened to be in Orlando for work when Artemis 1 launched. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked in the general direction of the cape, hoping I’d catch a dim little light or something. I had the live stream going, and the second they touched it off, the whole sky lit up like daytime, from 50 miles away. Totally blew my socks off. I saw it flying clear as day and it was in sight for quite a while. Truly surreal.
