NEXT WEEK: HALLEY S COMET PROVIDES US THE GIFT OF THE ETA AQUARID ME-TEOR SHOWER PEAKING MAY FIFTH AND SIXTH.
TO FIND IT, GET UP EARLY, OR STAY UP LATE HIT THE SKIES AROUND 5 AM WITH SOME WARM CLOTHES ON AND LOOK EAST.
MARS AND SATURN ARE BOTH VISIBLE IN THE EASTERN SKY, AND IF YOU USE THEM AS GUIDES YOU CAN EASILY FIND WHERE TO LOOK.
THE ETA AQUARIDS APPEAR TO EMANATE FROM AQUARIUS -- HE S HARD TO SEE IRL BECAUSE HE S SO DIM, BUT WITH THE MAGIC OF TV YOU CAN SEE HIM HERE.
THE METEORS SEEM TO COME FROM HIS WATER JAR AND PEAK AT UP TO SIXTY AN HOUR.
THE STREAKS ARE BITS OF ICE AND ROCK SHED BY THE FAMOUS HALLEY S COMET WHICH PASSSES EVERY 76 YEARS -- NEXT TIME IN 2061!
HALLEY S METEORS ARE CALLED EARTHGRAZERS BECAUSE THEY MAKE LONG STREAKS THAT SEEM TO COME FROM THE HORIZON IT-SELF.
