Hi list,

This "news" is already more than a day old, but somehow doesn't appear to
have made the list yet -- or did I miss a posting earlier? Seems exciting
and relevant enough to deserve a "heads-up" alert...

Best wishes to all,

Piper

Space Weather News for Sept. 14, 2007
http://spaceweather.com

On Sept. 13th a remarkable fireball split the skies over New
Mexico. Witnesses say it "turned night into day" and reminded them of a
full Moon hurtling across the sky. In fact, it was brighter than a full
Moon. At least two all-sky cameras captured the event while one amateur
astronomer recorded radio echoes from the fireball's ionized trail. What
was it? Probably a piece of reentering space junk, but this is not yet
certain. Visit http://spaceweather.com for updates plus sights and sounds
of the Great New Mexico Fireball.
