A teacher I work with asked for help id'ing a satellite. The "one we saw at WHS" refers to an iridium flare a year ago. We are UT -5 so she saw it a little after 0 UT March 4 (like 5 hours ago). I received the email at 0:20UT so it couldn't have been after then. Nothing obvious on heavens above. Her lat and lon: 42.27 N 71.52 W Altitude unknown - probably around 100 Meters Thanks, George Roberts p.s. I recommend you respond to list - if you reply to me you'll have to go through my automated anti-spam challenge procedure. ========================================= I was helping an 8th grade neighbor find the Pleiades tonight --- a few minutes after 7 --- when she, her mother & I all saw this HUGE silver flare --- low moving from the west to the southwest. Any idea what it might have been? It was about 1/2 as big & bright as that awesome one we saw at WHS a couple of years ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
