Shuttle reentry update (28 JAN, 13:00)
Things are looking better. Columbia is currently predicted to reenter over S. Utah Saturday morning at about 6:55 am which is about 40 minutes before local sunrise. Observers located close to the ground track will have the best view, but Columbia could be visible from as much as 100 miles north and south of the ground track. A link to the latest ground track map can be found at http://planet.state.ut.us . Now if only the weather will cooperate.
Is there any plan for a gathering place near St George? It looks like the off ramp to Hurricane (Quail Creek) might be ground zero?

Hi Wayne, My wife and I are spending the night in Hurricane near Sky Mountain Golf course. (beautiful course by the way) There is a hill on the west side of the off ramp that will block the view to the West. If you drive a few miles to the East, toward Hurricane, the view is pretty much horizon to horizon. At least that is how I remember the landscape. We will be leaving SLC about 2:00 PM on Friday. If you want to meet somewhere let us know. Clear skies, (I hope) Larry & Kaye ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Reese" <wreese@hubwest.com> To: <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 10:10 PM Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] Shuttle reentry update (28 JAN, 13:00)
