My Friend in the Sky

I'm going to be 77 years old the next time Halley's comet passes Earth (fair warning to anyone who's around when I make my trip somewhere where I can see it - I'm not traveling alone at 77!).

Luckily, she left a part of herself behind. The Orionid meteor shower peaks this month from October 20-24th. That includes a weekend, so there is no excuse for not staying up late to watch. The best part of the show will be from 1-2am until dawn, when Orion (particularly his club) is easily visible.
