My old prediction for #30000 by the end of 2006 missed by less than a month. It did take a giant breakup to get there that soon, however, as I thought it might. 1999-025 certainly has the potential to become the biggest breakup ever. News reports suggest as many as 2 million fragments may have resulted, most too small to be catalogued, of course. I don't think any launch has reached letter combination WS quite as rapidly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
