This week in Space News, a couple of things to geek out about. First, Earth is making its annual trek through the Draconid Meteor field. The show should be reaching a fever pitch this evening. I myself saw one this morning at 6AM while walking the dog. I was foolish enough not to be looking last night. I’ll be looking tonight. If you’d like some advice on watching yourself, check THIS.
Second of all, the LCROSS project is nearing its goal, wherein we’ll be firing a doohickey (that’s the technical term, shut up) at the moon to see if it has water. Well, ice, really. Or vestiges of ice. But we want to know, dang it, and you may be able to see the fireworks your very own self. Look up! HERE‘s when and how. More info at CNN.
