Bad weather halts solar plane flight

A solar plane attempting to fly around the world without a drop of fuel plans to make an unscheduled stop in Nagoya, Japan, because of bad weather, according to the website and Twitter feed for the plane. Swiss pilot Andree Borschberg took off in Solar Impulse 2 from Nanjing, China, on Sunday on what was to be the longest leg of the journey, an 8,175-kilometer flight to Hawaii.
