Week End Skywatcher

METEOR SHOWER:

Earth is about to orbit through the ancient tail of Halley's Comet, producing a mild but pretty shower of meteors called "the Orionids." The best time to look is before sunrise on Saturday, Oct. 21st.

CORONAL HOLE:

There's a gaping black hole on the sun today.

The technical term is "coronal hole." It's a place in the sun's atmosphere where magnetic fields open up and allow solar wind to escape. A stream of solar wind flowing from this hole should reach Earth on Oct. 20th, possibly sparking a geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers, be alert for auroras!

Amateur photographers in northern latitudes may be able to record these auroras using time lapse photography.
