     Subj: Bus-sized satellite to re-enter Earth's atmosphere this week

     UARS, a NASA satellite the size of a small bus, will re-enter
     Earth's atmosphere later this week producing a brilliant fireball
     somewhere over our planet. Best estimates place the re-entry time
     during the late hours of Sept. 23rd over a still-unknown region of
     Earth. Observers of the rapidly-decaying satellite say it is
     tumbling and flashing, sometimes almost as brightly as Venus. Video
     images featured on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com show
     how the doomed satellite looks through a backyard telescope.

     Readers who would like to catch a last glimpse of UARS streaking
     across the night sky should check SpaceWeather's Satellite Tracker
