1 00:00:02,168 --> 00:00:03,970 Greetings fellow Star Gazers! This week: 2 00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:07,907 Halley s comet provides us the gift of a speedy meteor shower. 3 00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:09,509 To find it, you ll have to get up early, 4 00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:12,946 or stay up late. It ll be best around 4 AM later in the week. 5 00:00:13,046 --> 00:00:18,451 Grab very warm clothes and hit the dark 30 minutes early to get your night vision and face East 6 00:00:18,551 --> 00:00:21,821 If you re having trouble, Jupiter will be right here to help orient you. 7 00:00:21,921 --> 00:00:27,427 The Eta Aquarids appear to emanate from Aquarius -- he s hard to see IRL because he s so dim, 8 00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:32,932 but with the magic of TV you can see him here. The meteors seem to come from his water jar! 9 00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,868 These meteors are called earthgrazers because 10 00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:38,471 they make long streaks that seem to come from the horizon itself. 11 00:00:38,571 --> 00:00:41,741 The streaks are bits of ice and rock shed by the famous Halley s 12 00:00:41,841 --> 00:00:45,841 comet which passses every 76 years -- next time in 2061! Keep lookin up.
