greetings listees
appologies for being off subject.... nothing very meteoritic happening
here in Qatar.
Last night I had the privilige of seeing the ISS persued by the
shuttle , as it crossed Abu Dhabi west to east, 7 hours from docking.
The exhaust fron the motors was clearly visible by eye , & fantastic by
bins.The gas ( ice crystals ? ) was being blown in the shape of a
mirrored "c" ( or an arabic 6 ) so that it appeared to overtake the
shuttle .
solar wind ???
many thanks to chris peat & the Heavens-above.com site
I'm still fully wowwed by it
:-)
allthe best
colin
