NASA'S DART LAUNCH TO BE RESCHEDULED

The launch of NASA's DART spacecraft aboard an Orbital Sciences 
Pegasus XL rocket, targeted for Thursday, Nov. 4, is being postponed. 
Availability of the Western Range and the lingering effects of solar 
activity are the primary reasons for the postponement. A new launch 
date is under review.
