I have a service where I alert members of the general public to unusual celestial events. Here is a report I have just received from Garrison, NY (Putnam County) about his sighting of the Titan-4 launch on Friday night. -- joe rao Subj: Re: ALERT: Titan IV B-30 launch tonight! Date: 5/2/05 9:20:53 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: To: <A HREF="mailto:Skywayinc@aol.com">Skywayinc@aol.com</A> Sent from the Internet (Details) Joe - we ran out with as four-year-old and a five-year-old wrapped in blankets at 8:50pm and looked toward Jupiter (? very bright in the east) which was visible from moment to moment in the mist. We looked and looked for 5 full minutes. Then at 8:56, just as three of us were looking north at a plane, one of the little girls cried, "ohh, look," and there, just below Jupiter, came the clean (though subdued in the thin clouds) light of the Titan 2nd stage, followed, if you could believe it, by the first stage. We were thrilled! Thanks for letting us know to look. - Fred & Anne Osborn ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
