NASA is launching a rocket high into Earth's atmosphere tonight between 11 PM and midnight Eastern time, in an effort to capture images from the universe's dawn. The agency will be broadcasting the launch live on Ustream from Wallops, Virginia, and the launch site will be open to the public. But the mission, known as the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRIment Four (CIBER)-4), won't be returning to Earth when it's done, unlike three previous flights of this same experiment.
