shooting starts TONIGHT!


Posted: Oct 20, 2009

Just FYI there is going to be a meteor shower tonight with an estimated peak time of 6 am for ET and 3 am for PT. 

"The Orionid meteor shower is expected to put on a good show tonight into the predawn hours Wednesday, weather permitting.  This annual meteor shower is created when Earth passes through trails of comet debris left in space long ago by Halley's Comet. The "shooting stars" develop when bits typically no larger than a pea , and mostly sand-grain-sized, vaporize in Earth's upper atmosphere."  This is from the Yahoo news.

barely saw any and now we're in the middle of the storm in Mexico coming up and a front coming in, so weather is supposed to really deteriorate here. I hope you get to enjoy the sites.

Are you in Mexico then? - elaine

At just about 6:00 am I stepped out on the porch and saw a shooting star, but my angle of view was impeded, and I promptly went back to bed!

Naw, central Texas. - linda

But we were getting stuff off a storm around Baja with clouds coming straight up Mexico. Thankfully, we finally got some rain. I see more of these when they report them on TV than I do outside!
