What's fascinating (at least fascinating to me) is that I observed Mir at the very same time - from over 1000 miles away! Of course Mir was much lower on my horizon, only about 10 degrees up, but I was struck by the thought that as I was viewing Mir it was travelling over the Mid Atlantic states, far north of me. Oh yeah, Comet Hale-Boop was about 20 degrees to the right of Mir and quite spectacular too. Philip Chien [M1959.05.31/31.145//KC4YER@amsat.org]
