    Greetings all,

I just watched the HST as it passed over Houston, and was treated to an
unexpected double flare!   At approx. 21:34:00, it flared to about -2,
then at 21:35:30, it flared again to about -4, the brightest I've ever
witnessed it ... quite a sight, indeed.  I guess the solar panels were
aligned just right for my vantage point.
