Many may have already seen the excellent videos in a recent SCIENCE@NASA article by Tony Phillips but just in case someone would otherwise miss it, I'm taking the liberty of mentioning it here. You can locate it at: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/23jan_ltps.htm?list47652 Of particular interest is the video of the Orbcomm communications satellite passing in front of the shaded earth-lit part of the waning crescent Moon on Nov. 17, 2006. I wonder how high the moon was above the horizon at that time of the transit? Tom Iowa USA PS As far as the article goes, I have been long interested in transient lunar phenomena.
