[Chaos-l] Meteor (Or Space Junk) Over Colorado

[Robert Nielsen]

Yep ... apparently they are looking for bits and pieces of it in Wyoming ...

So the other cool thing I heard about yesterday is a new comet ... 
that is visible to the naked eye, but very close to the sun.  See 
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ for a picture of it, and 
http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~jds/ for technical details about it.
