Subj: A Comet Plunges toward the  Sun


 

Space Weather News for Oct. 20,  2010

SUNDIVING COMET: A newly-discovered  comet is plunging toward the sun for a 
close encounter it probably will not  survive.  The comet is too deep in 
the sun's glare for human eyes to pick  out, but it is showing up nicely in 
chronograph images from the Solar and  Heliospheric Observatory.  Visit 
http://spaceweather.com for latest  movies.

ORIONID METEOR SHOWER:  Earth is passing through a stream  of debris from 
Halley's Comet, and this is causing the annual Orionid meteor  shower.  
Bright moonlight is reducing the number of visible meteors;  nevertheless, sky 
watchers are reporting some bright Orionids.  The best  time to look is during 
the hours before local dawn on Thursday, Oct. 21st, and  again on Friday, 
Oct. 22nd.   Check http://spaceweather.com for a  sky map and more 
information.
