SATELLITE DEBRIS:  On Feb. 10, 2009, Iridium 33 crashed into 
Cosmos 2251 and the two satellites were shattered.  Since then, 
US Strategic Command has catalogued nearly a thousand pieces 
of debris.  Today's edition of http://spaceweather.com 
presents 3D maps showing where the fragments are located 
on the three-month anniversary of the unprecedented collision.  
One large piece of Iridium 33 wreckage is visible to the 
naked eye as it tumbles through the night sky flashing 
every 4.7 seconds. Check the Simple Satellite Tracker for
