Kind of neat... remember the toolbelt lost in space?

I saw this in my daughter's magazine and I thought it was kind of neat that you can now track the toolbelt....

On Nov. 18, 2008, spacewalking astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper dropped her backpack-sized toolbag and it floated away from the International Space Station. The errant bag, about as big as a hiker's backpack, is now orbiting Earth. It is visible through binoculars and small telescopes.

If you go to this link, you can track the toolbelt.

It's moving pretty darn fast... I hope it gets close enough to us again that we can see it with our telescope. It is suppose to make it's firey descent to earth sometime in June of this year (next month)

Even cooler ....

There is a button for 5 day prediction... if you click on that, Check the box to show ALL passes (visible and not visible), and then click on draw map for those days, it will show all the dates that the toolbelt will be visible.
