Remember, the satellite shootdown is also scheduled for tonight. So we get an eclipse AND a $60 million dollar fireworks show!

Unfortunately, the intercept will be over the pacific somewhere West of Hawaii, during daylight hours. China has "expressed concern", but I'm sure we've told them to STFU after their own unannounced and more hazardous satellite intercept and breakup. Debris from this one should re-enter the atmosphere within hours or days, while the Chinese satellite debris will remain an orbital hazard for years.

Of course they are, Mac.

They'll just be temporarily obscured. They're ALWAYS big & bright though.

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS:

The stars at night, are big and bright,
deep in the heart of Texas,
The prairie sky is wide and high,
deep in the heart of Texas.
The sage in bloom is like perfume,
deep in the heart of Texas,
Reminds me of, the one I love,
deep in the heart of Texas.

The coyotes wail, along the trail,
deep in the heart of Texas,
The rabbits rush, around the brush,
deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry, "Ki-yip-pee-yi,"
deep in the heart of Texas,
The dogies bawl, and bawl and bawl,
deep in the heart of Texas.
