Great News for Science!
(1)
Here's an interesting look at the current positions of 900 satellites now in orbit. This zoomable view shows both the geo-synchronous and the low Earth orbit varieties. You can zoom in and out to get more of a perspective; you can also change the position update rate. I like the 1 second and the 5 second rates best. The position and orbital path of the HST (Hubble Space Telescope) is a plus feature.
Speaking of Hubble, NASA announced today that there will be a mission to refurbish the HST some time in 2008. Great news for science!
Time for a visit to (tap) Enough... See you there.
