(meteorobs) A piece of Cosmos Falls

[Ian Musgrave & Peta O'Donohue]

G'Day All

A piece of the shattered satellite Cosmos 2251 is likely to re-enter 
the Earths atmosphere sometime March 12-13. Where it will re-enter is 
still unclear, but there is a (very small) possibility we can see the 
re-entry from Australia, low in the west between 10:00 pm to 12 pm. I 
have a more detailed discussion  of this possibility, and a map at
http://astroblogger.blogspot.com/2009/03/cosmos-2251-comes-to-earth.html 
as well as links to TLE data and files.

Cheers! Ian
