Events for May
Eta Aquarid meteor shower. Best seen on May fifth, three am till dawn. The meteors source is from
halley's comet.
Do you ever wonder about meteor showers? Their mostly large swarms of space debris.
some of the meteors are no bigger than a speck of dust. This swarm of debris is much
like a swarm of bees on a freeway. when a car (in this case the earth) runs in to them
they hit the windshield (atmosphere). This is commonly known as the bug on the windshield senerio.
Planets
Pluto: on the twenty-seventh of May, Pluto will be directly oppisite the Sun, from the viewpoint of earth.
It can be found in the constilation of Ophiuchus.
Did you know that right now, Pluto is not further out than Neptune?
Yes it's true, as we speak Pluto is nearly 2,708,900,000. Mi. from Earth that's about.
