Re: Planet X VIEWING, Restated

Look at http://www.zetatalk.com/theword/tword03m.htm for the latest
coordinates.  They are below.  You are advised to look AROUND this spot,
as these coordinates are for the whole globe.  You'll find a variance
page at http://www.zetatalk.com/theword/tword032.htm that descibes how
far afield.  Also, check the http://www.zetatalk.com/usenet/use20012.htm
for the latest dates for the VIEWING posting, for more specifics.
