    Hi Mike and Lorie
     
    Seems you will be in for a treat this weekend . The earth is going to passing through a debris field and the only place on earth where it will be viewed is at your location and the IST. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/28feb_tucanids.htm?list618710

    Wow, Janos
    It sounds interesting. I  doubt we will be able to see anything here. The time would put it about 9am to 11am local time, which would be in the sunniest part of the day. Even at night we are still for all intents and purposes in daytime 24 hours a day. Mostly twilight. I’ll get out the star chart program and see if I can see where it will be in relation to the sun here. Who knows maybe something will be bright enough to see in broad daylight.

    It was snowy and overcast all morning. I was hoping if the sky was clear maybe we would see a daytime meteor shower, but it was not to be.
    To Judie. It’s not too hard to come down here. It helps to be debt free as these are contract jobs that have a definite beginning and end. You’ll find yourself out of work at the end of your contract. They have basically a small town here and need people to everything you would need in any small town. Tradespeople of all sorts along with galley staff and supply people. Lots of entry level jobs. Go to http://www.polar.org for info on how to apply. If possible go to the job fair in Denver at the end of march or beginning of April. You will get names of people to keep in touch with.
    good luck
    mike
