Greetings fellow Star Gazers! This week:

Halley s comet provides us the
gift of a speedy meteor shower.

To find it, you ll have to get up early,

or stay up late. It ll be best
around 4 AM later in the week.

Grab very warm clothes and hit the dark 30 minutes
early to get your night vision and face East

If you re having trouble, Jupiter
will be right here to help orient you.

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!

These meteors are called earthgrazers because

they make long streaks that seem
to come from the horizon itself.

The streaks are bits of ice and
rock shed by the famous Halley s

comet which passses every 76 years --
next time in 2061! Keep lookin up.
