DRACONID METEOR SHOWER: On Saturday, October 8th, Earth will pass through a
network of dusty filaments shed by Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. Forecasters
expect the encounter to produce anywhere from a few dozen to a thousand
meteors per hour visible mainly over Europe, northern Africa and the Middle
East. The meteors will stream from the northern constellation Draco--hence
their name, the "Draconids." Check http://spaceweather.com for full coverage
of the event including observing times and a live audio stream from a meteor
radar.
Remember P7 - Proper, Pre-Planning, Prevents, Pathetically, Poor,
Performance.
Believe that curiosity is the key to creativity.
Believe that anything you can imagine,
you can make real.
