All the visiting kids, kids-in-law, and grand kids got an unexpected treat on Sunday evening. Shuttle Discovery had been scheduled to launch in February but several postponements put the launch right in the middle of their spring break visit. Ignition was just a few minutes after sunset. This made the always breathtaking sight a little more spectacular. The shuttle reentered the sunlight after it had been launched in the dusky light of sunset. The sun shining on the rockets as they fell away made them highly visible even to the naked eye.
