Speaking of which -- it was a beautiful, cool, clear night to watch NASA's launch of the LADEE lunar mission from way down in Virginia. Clearly saw the first stage burning, the "light" went out, and then the second stage lit up and flew north (from my perspective) until the local "mountain" blocked it. More than bright enough to be visible through the glow of NYC on the eastern horizon.
Second best launch I've seen! (I was in Florida for the launch of STS-135, the last shuttle.)
