For those living in the southern California area, there will be a monster
flare from Iridium 9 this evening (September 30th).  The flare should occur
sometime around 19:46:50 PDT, 50-55 degrees above the SW horizon (depending on
your location).  Jupiter will be nearby for reference, but I expect Iridium 9
to far outshine it while it is flaring.  Skies are clear right now, so cross
your fingers that the marine layer stays offshore!  --Rob
