Strong solar storms responsible for breathtaking auroras across the U.S. have delayed the launch of Blue Origin’s big new rocket

A severe geomagnetic storm during a period of heightened solar activity has delated Blue Origin's second-ever launch of its New Glenn rocket, with NASA's twin ESCAPADE probes.

Blue Origin is back to try to launch its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral on Wednesday afternoon on its second mission ever.
