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.
