POPSSet Your Alarm For The Orionids!
"Last but not least, the display will be framed by some of the prettiest stars and planets in the night sky. In addition to Orionids, you'll see brilliant Venus, red Mars, the dog star Sirius, and bright winter constellations such as Orion, Gemini and Taurus. Even if the shower is a dud, the rest of the sky is dynamite." "According to Japanese meteor scientists Mikiya Sato and Jun-ichi Watanabe, 2006 marked Earth's first encounter with some very old debris. "We have found that the was caused by dust trails ejected from 1P/Halley in 1266 BC, 1198 BC, and 911 BC," they wrote in the August 2007 edition of Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan. In their paper "Origin of the 2006 Orionid Outburst," Sato and Watanabe used a computer to model the structure and evolution of Halley's many debris streams stretching back in time as far as 3400 years.

POPSNaked eye astronomy Wherever you are in the world, there will always be stars in the night sky above. And spotting these heavenly bodies - be it a solitary star amid the light pollution or great drifts dotted across the inky darkness - can give a certain thrill. It is one of the few things where we can go out into our own gardens and do it ourselves Marek Kukula, Royal Observatory And stars are not the only attraction - there are planets, comets and galaxies too. Most have been in the skies above for millions and millions of years, which is part of the draw for stargazers, amateur and aficionado alike.

POPSGlobal Suicide?
Peter Panford, a cult evangelist, killed in the mass suicide, wrote in a letter to In Seine News to give reason why this had happened. "Many of Michael's records had secret, sublime messages in them and could be clearly heard - especially if they were played backwards. Many fans who heard the records were programmed to self destruct when a star in the constellation of Orion (named after him, came into alignment with his star on Hollywood Boulevard." he wrote.

POPSMysterious Betelgeuse Measurements in 2008 revealed the star is probably about 640 light years from Earth. In other words, it takes light about 640 years to travel from that star to Earth. This means that all of the observations we are now making are of a star as it was 640 years ago. There is a possibility that the star has already gone supernova! Kabooom!
