Has anyone had a chance to see it yet? for those unaware it is Russia's malfunctioning Mars probe.

Data is up on heavens-above.com but per Spaceweather, it is due to hurtle through Earth's atmosphere this week. they predict Jaunuary 17, give or take a day.

In Tville, we have a pass on Jan 16 at 0509 ish.

Would be wful to see a big fireball hurtle through the sky, as long as it doesnt land near me!!
