Go to bed early Tuesday night, wake up extra early Wednesday morning go out and see if you can catch a few meteors streaking from the constellation Orion. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/ 19oct_orionids.htm?list1306283 This meteor shower is from the dust tail of the famous Halley's Comet. So even if you missed H...alley's in 1986, you can still see the results of this short period comet's debris field that we plow into every year about this same time. There could be up to 60 meteors per hour from this debris stream.Read More
