COPIED FROM MY FRIENDS POST.. SOUNDS INTERESTING. GUESS WHERE I AM GOING TO BE =) October skywatchers are in for a treat (not a trick) this week. The 2014 Orionid meteor shower will peak early Tuesday morning, Oct. 21, and it should be quite a show.The Orionid shower takes place every year in mid- to late October. The shower is one of two that occur as Earth passes through debris left behind by Halleys comet. The other shower, called the Eta Aquarids, occurs in May. Look toward the constellation Orion between midnight and dawn (southeast for those in the northern hemisphere, and northeast for those in the southern). You should be able to see a shooting star every three minutes or so, astronomers say. I am hoping that our clouds will move away ... Happy stargazing
