Yeah, kind of a yawner, but space "news" nonetheless.

We were talking about this at work today. I mentioned it was probably Rama passing through, and sure enough two people caught the reference.

It is no "yawner" - I find it very exciting that we can find and track such objects :speakcool:

It's been suggested this object is actually the Fregat upper stage used for the Venus express mission, but now that probably isn't the case. Would've been cool if it was though.
