This weekend would be a great time to look for a comet in your night sky.The Weather Authority says we'll have clear skies this weekend, and the best time to look for the comet is just after dusk.Sunset is around 6:15 p.m. these days, and it's pretty dark by 7 p.m.The early evening sky will stay very dark this weekend because the moon keeps rising later and later. Look for it to come up after 7 p.m. on Saturday and after 8 p.m. on Sunday.Turns out, only the full moon is up all night.
This meteor shower is caused by a comet, but not the one we're seeing in the early evening sky.It's caused by the dust left in space from Halley's Comet. That comet will be visible in our skies again in 2061.In the meantime, every year when the earth runs into where Halley's Comet crossed our part of space, some of the comet dust, often the size of sand grains, falls to the Earth.This rock dust agitates the air way up in our sky and gives it a bit more energy.
