RE: [Utah-astronomy] Shuttle Re-entry

Maybe for a few seconds, but the shuttle moves pretty quickly. It is a great naked eye sight. The train goes from horizon to horizon. The whole show lasts less than 5 minutes, and then its back home.

From Patrick's "News", the location seems to be around Cedar City on the 1st about an hour before sunrise. These times and locations will be tweaked before entry.

Dan,
It is one of the most amazing meteors you will ever see. The shuttle itself is a daglo orange color, and the trai, which lasts for at least one minute, is an irridescent purple. It goes from horizon to horizon. It is really very spectacular. About two or three minutes (it seems like) after the shuttle passes overhead, there is a muffled sonic boom. All in all, a great show.

Nice as those shots look remember they were taken against a bright blue sky. The one we may see from Utah in a couple of weeks will be with a much darker sky. Even more impressive! Patrick hanksdc@plug.org wrote:
