Space Weather News for June 4, 2015
http://spaceweather.com

Earth is entering a stream of debris from an unknown comet, and this is
causing one of the most intense meteor showers of the year. Ironically,
most sky watchers won't notice because the shower peaks in broad daylight.
We only know it's happening because a radar in Canada is picking up echoes
from meteoroids streaking through the blue sky overhead. Astronomers call
these meteors "Arietids" because they emerge from the constellation Aries
not far from the June sun. For observing tips on how you might be able to
see earthgrazing Arietids just before sunrise in the mornings ahead, visit

Good friends are like stars. You don't always
see them, but you always know they are there.
