    Meteor Shower

    I'll be out back by the fire with a cold beer in my hand watching the Orionids if anyone needs me.

    Viewing conditions for the Orionid meteor shower are not too bad this year.

                  I should have mentioned that on those nights when your viewing is poor but you still want to see the show you can usually go to space.com. The Leonids peak next month.

                            The Taurids should be visable for the next 10 days or so with bright meteors on display


                            " The Taurids are a particularly large collection of meteoroids, so the Earth takes several weeks to pass through them. They are also made up of unusually large particles, so while they are relatively few in number on a given night, they cause a disproportionate number of very bright meteors, which astronomers call "fireballs."
                            Because the Taurids last for several weeks, they have been divided into two separate showers because their radiant moves during that time. The "South Taurids" peak on Thursday (Nov. 5), and the "North Taurids" peak a week later on Thursday (Nov. 12)"



                            Fireballs from Taurus: See the Taurid Meteors This Week
                            http://www.space.com/31029-taurid-meteors-fireballs-this-month.html?cmpid=514630_20151105_54936046&adbid=10153142714401466&adbpl=fb&adbpr=17610706465
                            The annual Taurid meteor shower is visible this month, but only if you know when and where to look. Here's how to see Taurid fireballs in November.

                              I'll be out back tonight trying to see some of the North Taurids.

                              The Leonids peak next Tuesday

                              I haven't seen a comet with my eyes only since the 1997 Hale Bopp so I hope that Catalina puts on a nice show later this month
