Apparently, *when* the Iridium flares article goes (back?) online, its URL will be: http://www.austin360.com/news/001metro/12dec/06/6flare.htm However, that URL right now (21:45 UTC on 6 Dec.) gets, in essence, a "not found" error. Perhaps they are correcting my place of employment.... It's not technically perfect regarding the flares, but perhaps it's not too bad, either. Ed Cannon - ecannon@mail.utexas.edu - Austin, Texas, USA
