[at-l] I'm so excited!

[Jarl K. Jackson]

I thought maybe it was one sent up to make for Pluto's demotion to "minor planet" or whatever.

One of them.  We already have several up - TRACE, SOHO, and STEREO  
(which is actually two satellites.)  This one is SDO, the Solar  
Dynamics Observatory.

I find it mildly amusing that my whole career has been about stuff to  
do with the sun, but as a redhead I can barely go out in it.   
Fortunately most of my hiking is in treed areas.
