It's Raining Comet Halley!

We at the Meteoroid Environment Office are hoping that you have clear skies on May 5/6 when we have the opportunity to see pieces of Comet Halley whiz through Earth's atmosphere!

Depending on your age, you may remember 25 years ago when people lined up for blocks to look through a telescope and get a glimpse of this popular comet. It will be another 51 years before the comet will pass close enough to earth for us to see it in its entirety, but the debris it has left orbit-after-orbit gives us a yearly show in the Eta Aquariid meteor shower.

I stepped outside about 30 minutes ago...

Cloudy...

I was disappointed

For those of you who can see it...

Glance at em once for me

Rained last 2 nights so far, weather has been a real jerk to me last few meteor shower hot times. I am hoping tonight will be clear.
