Tonights the night....and I am going to try to watch :)

October 19, 2009: The Orionid meteor shower peaks this week and it could be a very good show.

"Earth is passing through a stream of debris from Halley's Comet, the source of the Orionids," says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "Flakes of comet dust hitting the atmosphere should give us dozens of meteors per hour."

8. argggghh!!!

I wanna watch the light show but...it is pouring cats and dogs...and frogs and rivers :P
Lately my carport is looking like a lake...
If anyone gets to watch ...let us know? :)
One year while watching for the shooting stars....I saw a little light moving real fast across the heavens..then about 2/3 of the way..it simply blinked out.
I kept watching and soon saw five more..coming from different directions..all ending up at the same place and blinking out.
You never know what you will see when you watch the heavens :)
