    Hi All,
    
    Back from a 6-day vacation in Yosemite.  Thought the following
    item might be of interest to some.  (Apologies if this is a
    repeat -- I have several hundred e-mails left to go through):

    Basically, someone is selling what appears to be a spherical
    helium tank from Cosmos 1686 that reentered over Argentina in
    1991.  It is about 35 cm in diameter and weighs 7.4 kilos.  It
    is pitted with hundreds of small craters.  --Rob
