On the passed few nights the UARS satellite has made passes through SoCal,and on every pass it flared to at least -1.5,as bright as Sirius
for 30 seconds and 3 each pass.About 6 months ago,I observed this UARS,
and it never behaved like this.It was always a sustained magnitude
of 2.5 at zenith,and 3.5 at 45 degrees up.Has anyone else seen this
satellite act like this.Well if not try to see it,its quite a show.
Hey maybe it will be another SL-16 Rocket that flashes 1 to 2 times
a second huh?I'm going to observe it tonight with a pass of 87 degrees
in the NE sky.I'll get back to you and give "The Update Of UARS"
at 10pmPDT. -
Happy Skies! ///////////-_-////////////__________________________O
