Meteors from Halley's Comet!

I thought some of you might be interested in this

METEOR SHOWER: Earth is about to pass through a stream of dust trailing Halley's Comet, producing a mild but beautiful shower of meteors called the eta Aquarids. When should you look? The shower's peak spans May 5th and 6th--so try the hours before dawn on both dates... http://www.spaceweather.com/meteors/etaaquarids/etaaquarids.html

I'm going to try to drag myself out of bed tomorrow morning. Don't like my chances though!

 

[Jo]

hehe, let's hope it isn't cloudy

 

[Winmar]

Like I thought, I didn't manage to wake up. Went to sleep at 2am or so. Was cloudy when I went to bed anyway. Did you get up?

 

[Jo]

Nope, at 2.30am it was cloudy so went to bed and didn't bother to get up.
