Does anyone want a free 33" mirror?

It is free but you would have to find it

after ROSAT re-entry today:

"The largest single fragment will probably be the telescope's mirror, which is very heat resistant," DLR said.

LOL! I wonder how heat resisitant it is?

It doesn't say heat proof. It may just be a lump of glass slag.

Great collectors piece if it can be found, even as a molten glob

Apparently Rosat seems to have come down somewhere in Northern Thailand, good luck finding the mirror .
