UPDATE:<\/span><\/strong>  Hearing UARS is down, started over the Pacific<\/a> also hearing rumors of a fireball over Edmonton Alberta, anybody up there that can confirm?<\/p>

UPDATE 2:<\/span><\/strong> NASA is saying the satellite is likely in the Pacific but they really don’t know.  Apparently this post upset a spammer.  Well most likely a spammer even if he was using a New Jersey IP address.  Oh well I removed the comment and updated the spam filter, I figure he can let me know if the comment wasn’t really spam.<\/p>

A short post today.<\/p>

This (last I knew) wasn’t “for sure” but  the question can be asked: Was Einstein wrong? Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water just yet<\/a>.<\/p>

The doomed satellite known as UARS is on the way down. Not sure where yet though AND solar activity is no longer playing much of a role in the rate of descent which is now slowing.  What’s that mean?  It means earlier assurances the satellite will not impact in North America could<\/em> be wrong<\/strong>, although the chances are low, the possibility cannot be dismissed.  The last prediction I heard was 20:36 GMT give or take 20 hours.<\/p>
