Dave Jackpot looks like it would be a good location. If you can't see anything, go into the casino and you will come out seeing stars. JG David L Bennett <dlbennett@mac.com> wrote:
From what I gather, from both the info in the NASA article and Patrick's contact, there isn't much of a consensus as to what we might see. We go from not seeing anything (would that be 0 times as bright as Venus?) to 100 times as bright as Venus at -9. I think the range is worth giving it a shot. This is a 1 meter object coming in...I'm betting it's going to give us a show despite the daylight hour.

If the predicted visual magnitude is -9, why would it not be visible from anywhere along the flight path? Granted, it's daylight, but it's a moving target, easier to find than a stationary one (I think) and NASA's news release says it could be visible from up to 100 miles away from the flight path. Can anyone clarify?
