ORIONID METEOR SHOWER:  This weekend, a mild but pretty flurry of meteors
will shoot out of the constellation Orion. The source is Halley's Comet.
Although the comet itself is far away, ancient clouds of dust from the comet
are nearby, and Earth is about to run through them. The best time to look is
Saturday morning, Oct. 21st.  Dozens of meteors might streak across the sky
during the hours before sunrise.  Dark skies are recommended!

AURORA WATCH:  A solar wind stream is heading toward Earth, and it could
spark a display of auroras when it arrives on Oct. 20th or 21st.  Check
