NASA's Stardust comet sample return mission is slated to touch down in the Utah 
salt flats at 3 a.m. on Sunday, January 15.  Information about the 'fiery' 
re-entry is at this site.

I wondered if this would be visible from Phoenix.  The landing site is about 
700 miles away.  Does anybody know if there will be a site that will predict 
viewing geometry a la "Heavens Above"?
