A Better View of the Hayabusa Re-entry
June 13, 2010 1 Comment
The video below is from a Japanese NHK TV crew. IMHO it is better than the video NASA released. Enjoy!
I am a professional astronomer specializing in the study of comets, asteroids and meteors. This blog will focus on my professional and amateur work in this field

I have seen a bright appearance in the north western sky about 9 pm. The appearance looked to be about the size of a fist. We are located in the mountains north east of San Diego.. Can you tell me what we saw.
