Let’s Come In in a Blaze of Glory!

I know, I usually don’t cross post. But I really wanted to spread the word about this. I haven’t seen much talk in the news (okay, I don’t actually watch the news, but I haven’t seen it in the online newspapers) about the Genesis mission.

The Genesis spacecraft, which went to the sun and collected samples is returning to Earth, will put on a show tomorrow. Any readers from Elko, Nevada to Bend, Oregon may be able to catch a glimpse of it starting at 8:53 AM. Here’s an even better map with freeways on it from Spaceweather.com.

Check this map to see if you’re on the path - you should be able to view it if you’re within 100 miles of the path of reentry, it will be between 10-100 times brighter than Venus.

Won’t someone go out tomorrow morning and take some photos of it?

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.
