    Hi everyone ,
    
    As I have had a number of requests to see the animation of UARS crossing the
    Sun , I have deleted some older files from my website to make room for the
    video.
    
    You can access it here , direct....
    
    http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/UARS.htm
    
    The animation is about 1.2mb so for dial up will take 2-3 minutes to load ,
    however you should then be able to save the file to HD if you wish.
    If you do save to HD , then use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to view
    it.This way you will be able to zoom in making it easier to see the tiny
    object.
    
    UARS is "not" the object that passes right to  left across the center of the
    disc....so far that remains unidentified , possibly a bird.The satellite is
    the  very small object which travels roughly 5 oclock to eleven oclock .
    
    The event took place on August 2  2003
