METEORS FROM HALLEY’S COMET

Our Planet Earth is approaching a stream of debris from Halley’s Comet, source of the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower. I assume if forecasters are correct, the shower will peak on the nights of May 4th through 6th this month with as many as 40 meteors per hour.



“This is a good year for eta Aquariid meteors,” says Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. “The shower’s peak coincides with a New Moon, so skies will be dark for the display.”  It’s a great opportunity for photographers.

The best time to look is during the hours before sunrise when the constellation Aquarius is high in the southern sky. Nominally, May 5th will be the most active morning, but May 4th and May 6th should be good, too. Halley’s stream of debris is wide and spreads the display over three full days.

Wait, What?!

You can’t find the constellation Aquarius?

No Problem, you don’t need to. Although Halley’s meteors shoot out of Aquarius, they fly far across the sky. All you have to do is lie down under a dark clear sky and look up. The shower be obvious even without the guidance of a star chart.

Let’s hope those nights will be clear and free from clouds. For more information visit @ http://spaceweather.com

UARS satellite & EleNin X

So many things going on there in Space… I’m indicating the points only..

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) will re-enter Earth on around 23rd of September, +-1day. So watch-out your head.

On September 7, 2011, NASA announced the impending uncontrolled re-entry of UARS and noted that there is a small risk to the public. As of September 21, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 195 km (121 mi) by 210 km (130 mi). Re-entry is projected for 23 September 2011. Some debris may survive to reach the surface. Of the 26 pieces expected to survive reentry and strike the surface, the largest piece is expected to have a mass of 158.3 kg (349 pounds), and to reach the surface at a velocity of 44 meters/second (98 miles/hour). Smaller pieces are expected to strike the surface at up to 107 meters/second (239 miles/hour). >>>Wiki

There is nothing really to worry about..As there is a very small chance for the debris to hit your head.  Smile

 

OK that’s all about the UARS, now we come to the biggest threat>>

I believe in Allah (God)..No one knows when the doomsday will occur.

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَٮٰهَا‌ۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى‌ۖ لَا يُجَلِّيہَا لِوَقۡتِہَآ إِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ ثَقُلَتۡ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ لَا تَأۡتِيكُمۡ إِلَّا بَغۡتَةً۬‌ۗ يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنۡہَا‌ۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَڪۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ (١٨٧)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

They ask you about the Hour (i.e. the Doomsday), “When is it due to happen?” Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. No one can unfold it except He at its time. It shall weigh heavy in the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you but suddenly.” They ask you as if you were aware of it. Say, “Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know.” (187) The Holy Qur’an

 Surah Al-Araf   –    سُوۡرَةُ الاٴعرَاف

At the end, EleNin X which is most probably to be a comet, wont harm the planet.. Lets wait and time will tell  Smile
