    For those who like fast-moving satellites -- the Breeze 
    that put Iridiums 97 and 98 into orbit has made low, fast 
    passes over this part of the world the last couple of 
    nights.  Its Quicksat intrinsic magnitude seems to be 
    about +4.0 (about +5.5 standard); at an orbital height of 
    about 260 km (160 miles) it can be bright.  Mike McCants 
    and I saw a high pass in the west last night -- before 
    the sky got cloudy.  It probably won't be up there a lot 
    longer, so see it while you can!
