Event into space in Israel on Thursday, 22 May, 2014 at 03:32 (03:32 AM) UTC.
Description
An unusual meteorite shower is expected to occur Thursday morning, reaching its peak between 9 and 11 A.M. Israel time. However, since meteorites can only be seen in the dark, "the optimal time to watch them from Israel is in the predawn hours," explained Prof. Dan Maoz, director of the Wise Observatory at Tel Aviv University. "The best visibility would be in the Negev, south of Be'er Sheva or Sde Boker, where the sky is darkest." Most meteorite showers occur when the tail of a comet intersects with the Earth. "Comets are part of the solar system and are the remains of its creation," explained Maoz. "They live in a cloud very far from the sun and are made up of water, ice, dry ice and a lot of dust. From time to time they are drawn inward toward the sun, and when the comet heats up it leaves a trail of gas and dust particles. Some of them continue to move around the sun, and when such a trail intersects with the Earth, the particles move quickly through the atmosphere and we get the phenomenon that people refer to as 'falling stars.'" The specific comet whose particles will be seen Friday is called 209P/LINEAR. The comet was discovered in February 2004 as part of project LINEAR, an acronym for the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research project, a joint project of NASA, the Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the U.S. Air Force. Researchers say it passes through the Earth's orbit once every five years. The meteor shower is expected to be seen in various parts of the globe tomorrow and Saturday, but because this is a new shower, it may exceed the time forecast by scientists. According to Maoz, if the shower rains down 200 meteors per hour, as astronomers at NASA expect, it will be as least as strong as the Perseids meteor showers that occur in August, which rain an average of 80 meteorites an hour. However, this would not make it a particularly intense shower, he said. "We have seen some very strong meteor showers in the Leonid showers (that occur in November). In 1999, the pace reached thousands of meteorites an hour. But it's hard to predict these things in advance, and we could be surprised."

I'm so excited for this!! Like a kid at Christmas!!

AKO, it might just be us right now, but have you ever felt broken? Like broken to the point where you don't believe you can be fixed? And not just regarding health...more heart...

If this is way too personal I understand. I'm just going through so many different things I have to ask those I trust. : )

:s27sweetdreams1:

Simple I feel it as well,
And believe it will lead to
A great thing.

Sweet dreams & goodnight)

Nope - it's not just you! I am experiencing this as well. My abusive last job feels like it broke me to the point of no return. I am slowly but surely returning to a state of semi-normal at least. But it's taking a long time.

Thankfully I didn't experience any irreversible damage to my skills.

Yes I have experienced that more than once in my life time usually happens when I take on too much and attempt to be the 'Do it all for you Dolly' Then have to get to a point and let go and give it to God or whatever higher power you believe in knowing he knows best and in his hands- this too shall pass.

It's hard because it's human nature to think we know all and can 'fix' all. Had a very dear, wise, old friend tell me once worrying was a waste of time because at the end of the day the sun still goes down no matter what you do.

You need to turn off your brain and sleep more dear Simple sleep is essential.
