This is kinda an obscure question, but maybe I'm not the only one who
has wondered about this, so I'll ask the net.

I have been watching NASA select over the years, and noticed a symbol
on the tracking map that shows up on every orbit. It looks like a [ 
and it's on the bottom of each orbit and/or the top (can't remember).
What does this symbol mean?

Also, what is the South Atlantic Anomoly?

Thanks

Paul

P.S. I hope the first question isn't a FAQ :^)
