"This was the first time I could see decaying spy satellite USA 193," says photographer Friedrich Deters who sends this movie from LaGrange, North Carolina.

The clip shows USA 193 rounding the horizon at dawn on Feb. 10th. The source of its luminosity: reflected sunlight. "This was the first time I could see the decaying satellite," says Deters. It was bright enough to photograph using an ordinary digital camera--"my Canon Rebel XT."
