On March 20, independent of the actual ground track - Mir will cross 18 degrees south latitude at about 1850 local mean solar time. This will be thirty minutes after sunset. It will be heading south-east and into daylight. At the moment, Russia seems to be suggesting that March 18 is the favoured date but it is still undecided. Events on that day occur approximately fifty minutes later than on March 20.

This will be bad news for hopeful observers as it looks as if local daylight will have arrived. Comments/corrections?
