		<title>Meteor Shower &#8211; A Minor Difference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a difference between a major meteor shower and a minor meteor shower.  Minor meteor showers are events that produce little observable activity, usually less than ten meteors per hour, however they do occur at similar times during the year.  It is also quite often that a Greek letter is used at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is a Meteor Shower?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A meteor shower happens when a cluster of meteoroids orbiting the Sun cross the path of the Earth’s orbit.  The meteoroids enter the Earth’s atmosphere at a similar time each year.  Their path is also roughly the same; therefore they seem to radiate from a certain spot in the sky.  So where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meteor Shower A Quiet Centaur and A Carpenter’s Square</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I missed the Quadrantids Meteor Shower due to extreme cold and snowfall.  It is always one of my favorite meteor showers of the year.  Sadly, during January through March meteor activity practically drops to nothing.  A few minor meteor showers will occur between now and April when the Lyrids come back into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Next Meteor Shower &#8211; Quadrantids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The next meteor shower is the January 2010 Quadrantids. Last year I was amazed by how active this meteor shower was.  The Quadrantids can produce up to 120 meteors per hour and meteors appear bluish-white.  When observing the Quadrantids they seem to flicker as they streak across the sky at a startling speed of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meteor Shower King or Twins?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The next meteor shower is the Geminids and it’s strongest right now.  So why are you reading my blog?  The reason could be that you probably heard all the buzz about the Perseids Meteor Shower in August and the Leonids Meteor of November, but during December the Geminids Meteor Shower is King.

		<title>Meteor Shower Schedule for a Busy December</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Geminids Meteor Shower is similar to other meteor showers in that it takes its name from the constellation from where it seems to originate.  However most meteor showers that I discuss during the year are the result of a comet’s dust particles or meteoroids that follow the comet&#8217;s orbit around our Sun and hit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peak of the Week &#8211; The Orionids Meteor Shower</title>
