Breaking NEWS: Anyone Know Enough About Satellites To Explain This? UARS is still HERE!!!

I was on the site stellarium when I started checking out satellites. One that flew by the screen was named UARS.
I thought this satellite reentered the orbit last September 2011. Does anybody have an idea what this is?

Sorry Mods if this is in the wrong place. First Topic

Since that's a planetarium program, not an observatory, they just haven't updated their database with the fact that the thing no longer exists, so it's still being simulated as flying around as before.

Not sure why that's not completely obvious.

Have you bothered to contact them and asked them to update their database?

No not that familiar with the program. That's why I came here to get answers. I knew somebody would have some knowledge to share. Thanks!!

Ah! Mystery solved. Happy endings rock! Thread closed!
