SATELLITE DEBRIS UPDATE: The first catalogued fragments of shattered
satellite Cosmos 2251 are about to reenter Earth's atmosphere. According to
US Strategic Command tracking data, reentries will occur on March 12th, 28th
and 30th, followed by more in April. Radar cross sections are not available
for all of the reentering pieces; they are probably centimeter-class
fragments that pose no threat to people on the ground. Visit

WORM MOON: Tonight's full Moon has a special name--the Worm Moon. It signals
the coming of northern spring, a thawing of the soil, and the first
stirrings of earthworms in long-dormant gardens. Step outside tonight and
behold the wakening landscape. "Worm moonlight" is prettier than it sounds.
