Along similar lines, I wonder if anyone could take a minute to explain
all the symbols on the NASA shuttle globe display.

I certainly understand the shuttle groundtrack lines drawn on the display -
but what are some of the other symbols - such as the large circles drawn on
the globe - are these groundstations and their communications range to the
shuttle?  Also - what are all the numbers I see at the top of the screen?
