*** You have two days to turn in missing work due to absences. ***
EXTRA CREDIT +10: Go to the Heaven's Above website (www.heavens-above.com) and
find the times for viewing an Iridium satellite. Be sure to enter your
location so the times are accurate. Upon viewing the satellite, write up a

and when and from where it was launched. For fun, also google "nasa
satellites tracking" and check it out. J-Track 3D is especially cool.
