RE: [Utah-astronomy] Fwd: Possible Sky Show
Is it just me, or was that missle launch WAY more impressive than expected!??? What makes the whole area of sky light up like an aurora? It was still glowing about 10-15 minutes later. ---------- From: Richard Tenney Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 4:51 PM To: Utah-Astronomy; Utah Valley Astronomy Association Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Fwd: Possible Sky Show <<Message: Possible Sky Show>> Note: forwarded message attached. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Several of us gathered near SPOC to watch the show. Yes, it was way better than I had expected. MUCH better. Can't wait for the next one. The way I understand it the plume glowed like that because it was being back lit by the Sun. Patrick
