Because of the very low altitude of UARS at this time, there is
significant
parallax shift depending on your exact location. It will be 6 degrees to
the lower right of Antares from San Diego; however from Los Angeles, it
will go into shadow closer to the "stinger" of Scorpius, 20 degrees to
the lower left of Antares.
