It appears now that on Saturday evening the Galileo IUS (20299, 89-84C), a large upper stage that helped send the Galileo probe to Jupiter years ago and which will be re-entering before long, will pass over Texas with a height of about 122 miles above the ground somewhere between Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth (Waxahachie?), right around 7:00 PM. It might be visible from Oklahoma, but I don't know if it would from as far north as Tulsa. I think it will enter Earth's shadow above northern Louisiana -- or maybe southern Arkansas. West Texas -- I think maybe the twilight will be too bright. Ed Cannon - Austin, Texas, USA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
