Notes From The Sky!

Greetings and Salutations;

     Just a quick note to remind everyone that this month is the Orionid Meteor Shower.    It is a lengthy stream of debris,  so will continue on,  gradually growing towards its peak around October 21st.   Take an early nap,  and try to go out to watch the sky at around midnight.    No one seems to have any idea how heavy a shower it will be this year,  but,  we know that the streaks will be impressive.   They are amazingly fast, bright, and often leave a glowing trail.   It is also warm enough that it can be a pleasant time.  Here is an image that will help locate it, and, a link to a more complete explanation
