FROM HALLEY'S COMET: A radar in Canada has detected radio echoes coming
from the constellation Aquarius. This is a sign that the annual eta
Aquarid meteor shower is underway. In the days ahead ahead our planet
will cross a network of debris streams from Halley's Comet, producing a
drizzle of eta Aquarids numbering 10 to 30 meteors per hour in the
northern hemisphere and perhaps twice that number in the southern
hemisphere. Usually, the eta Aquarid shower peaks around May 6th. This
year, there might be an additional enhancement on May 4th or 5th.
