RE-ENTRY ALERT

RE-ENTRY ALERT: NASA reports that UARS, an atmospheric research satellite the size of a small bus, will re-enter Earth's atmosphere on Sept. 23rd plus or minus one day. The disintegration is expected to produce a fireball that could be visible even in broad daylight. Not all of the spacecraft will burn up in the atmosphere, however; according to a NASA risk assessment, as many as 26 potentially hazardous pieces of debris could be scattered along a ground track some 500 miles long. But where? No one can say. Because of the rapid evolution of UARS's decaying orbit, the location of the debris zone is not yet known. Improved predictions as the moment of re-entry nears.

Some of the passes go right over Ireland his week times are here www.heavens-above.com/AllPass1Sat.asp?sa...=Galway&alt=0&tz=GMT

You can download a FREE app for your Andorid Phone Satellite AR here market.android.com/details?id=com.agi.an...feature=related_apps
Good video on its use on the same page, now according to my Satellite AR UARS will pass over head in 12 hours
it is now 11:07 so will check it out later if it has not burned up by then.

Or Here simpleflybys.com/ for i phone and Andriod but it is a few dollars.

Have fun
