     METEORS FROM HALLEY'S COMET: Earth is entering a stream of dusty
     debris from Halley's Comet, and this is causing the annual Orionid
     meteor shower. If forecasters are correct, the shower will peak on
     Wednesday morning, Oct. 21st, with dozens of meteors per hour. The
     best time to look is during the dark hours before local dawn.

     For the past three years, Orionid rates have been unusually high,
     with reports of 60 or more meteors per hour. Researchers believe
     this is a result of some very old and rich debris from Comet Halley
     drifting across Earth's orbit. Computer models of the debris suggest
     that it is still in the neighborhood, so the trend of "good
     Orionids" could continue in 2009. Visit http://spaceweather.com for
