Hey Patrick, I've found a cool web site that will shorten those long URLs to something much more compact -- it's called tinyurl.com and it's free. -- Best wishes, Joe ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 12:25 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] UARS over Utah Hi Ian, The predicted times keep changing as the thing runs into more atmosphere, drops lower and speeds up. Here's where I'm getting my predictions for this area: http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?showAll=t&satid=21701&lat=40.6... A long URL so make sure your browser uses all of it. I just checked and there are only three passes remaining: One this morning (Thursday) from 05:37-05:40 low NW to S, one this evening 21:26-21:30 SW to overhead to NE and one tomorrow morning 05:05-05:08 low NW to SE. patrick On 21 Sep 2011, at 14:07, Ian Glenn wrote:
Hi Patrick,
I'm figuring even though the chance is so small, it is so easy and nice just to stand outside and watch the sky for a short period of time, I might as well be looking while these passes happen.
Could you help me interpret the table, are these Zulu times, or local time? Do the angle measurements indicate it would appear, if visible, to be moving from the western horizon to the eastern horizon?
Thanks!
Ian
