Sometimes
when I see a satellite moving through the sky, I try to plot its trajectory. It’ll
look like it’s on track to go through the handle of the Big Dipper, for
example, but in the end it grazes the top star of the bowl. I once told someone
that I’d have to work on my astro-geometry skills.
But when the Chinese satellite was scheduled to fall to Earth, even the best scientists couldn’t pinpoint a location for touchdown(s).
So, now I don’t feel so bad.
