For those in the area...

FIREBALL ALERT: On Sunday morning, Jan. 15th, between approximately
1:56 and 1:59 a.m. PST (0956 - 0959 UT), a brilliant fireball will streak
over northern California and Nevada. It's NASA's Stardust capsule,
returning to Earth with samples of dust from Comet Wild 2. Observers along
the flight path should have a marvelous view of this rare man-made
meteor. Radio signals reflected from the capsule's ionized tail may be
heard from a much wider area--hundreds to thousands of miles away. Visit
//spaceweather.com for maps and observing tips.
