Greetings fellow Star Gazers! This week:

00:04.070 --> 00:07.907 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Halley s comet provides us the
gift of a speedy meteor shower.

00:08.008 --> 00:09.509 align:left position:77.5% line:89% size:12.5%
To find it, you ll have to get up early,

00:09.609 --> 00:12.946 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
or stay up late. It ll be best
around 4 AM later in the week.

00:13.046 --> 00:18.451 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
Grab very warm clothes and hit the dark 30 minutes
early to get your night vision and face East

00:18.551 --> 00:21.821 align:left position:85% line:83% size:5%
If you re having trouble, Jupiter
will be right here to help orient you.

00:21.921 --> 00:27.427 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
The Eta Aquarids appear to emanate from Aquarius
-- he s hard to see IRL because he s so dim,

00:27.527 --> 00:32.932 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
but with the magic of TV you can see him here.
The meteors seem to come from his water jar!

00:33.033 --> 00:34.868 align:left position:67.5% line:89% size:22.5%
These meteors are called earthgrazers because

00:34.968 --> 00:38.471 align:left position:87.5% line:83% size:2.5%
they make long streaks that seem
to come from the horizon itself.

00:38.571 --> 00:41.741 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The streaks are bits of ice and
rock shed by the famous Halley s

00:41.841 --> 00:45.841 align:left position:82.5% line:83% size:7.5%
comet which passses every 76 years --
next time in 2061! Keep lookin up.
