There was some speculation a few days ago concerning the actual piece of
debris from last year's Pegasus explosion which was predicted to pass
close to Discovery during STS-82.
According to Nicholas L Johnson, chief space debris scientist at JSC, the
actual piece of debris was 1994-029HU/24169: he described it as being
about ten inches (~35 cm) across.
