Michael Browning, reporting for Cox News service, writes: "Piercing the night with sudden shards of light, a new globe-girdling array of communications satellites, called Iridium, lofted by Motorola, is already racing across the heavens, emitting brilliant flares form their super-reflective antenna panels, bedazzling astronomers."
The Iridium satellite system is described as "six necklaces of eleven satellites each" (note: six x eleven = 66!). The Iridium system is said to create a "bead-like electronic cage within which the world slowly turns."
"Nowhere on Earth is unreachable anymore, thanks to this new network," Browning noted.
