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, . 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
. 20th or 21st. Check http://spaceweather.com for updates.
