Here are the top stories today in Huntsville:

  1. Huntsville’s new amphitheater venue, the Orion, made it into Rolling Stone magazine! The city was one of eight featured in an article, and the Orion has a whole page to feature it. You can’t view the article online yet, but you can find it in stores! (AL.com)
  2. A man was killed Saturday night after he was hit by a train. The accident occurred near Triana Blvd. and Holmes Avenue, and an investigation is underway. (WAFF)
  3. The Jazz in the Park kickoff was canceled yesterday due to the weather. The next one will be September 11, and they are every other Sunday through September! (WHNT News 19)
  4. The second Artemis launch scheduled for Saturday was scrubbed. This time, there was a liquid hydrogen fuel leak that caused NASA to postpone. It is still possible that there will be a September launch, but they aren’t sure when that will be. (AL.com)
