Space Weather News for May 5, 2004
http://spaceweather.com
COMET NEAT: Long-awaited Comet NEAT (C/2001 Q4) is approaching Earth and
growing brighter. At closest approach on May 7th, it will be 0.32 AU (48
million km) from our planet and about as bright as a 3rd magnitude star.
The comet is now visible to the unaided eye--just barely--after sunset
from dark-sky locations in the northern hemisphere. It looks like a fuzzy
blob with a stubby tail. City dwellers are advised to use binoculars or a
small telescope. Visit Spaceweather.com for pictures of the comet and a
sky map.
METEOR SHOWER: Today Earth is passing through a stream of dusty debris
from Halley's Comet--the source of the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower.
Unfortunately, tonight's full Moon will outshine the display, reducing it
to near invisibility. Try listening, instead, using real-time links to
meteor radars on Spaceweather.com.
