Space Weather News for May 30, 2006

METEOR WATCH: On May 31st, Earth will pass about five million miles from the
dusty orbit of crumbling comet 73P/Schwassmann Wachmann 3. The great distance
means a meteor shower is unlikely; but 73P is such a strange comet that even the
unlikely is possible. Be alert for meteors slowly cutting across the sky in the
nights ahead.

MOON & PLANETS: Also, keep an eye on the western sky at sunset tonight and
tomorrow. On Tuesday evening, May 30th, the crescent Moon will appear right
beside Mars. On Wednesday evening, May 31st, the Moon will glide by Saturn.
The Moon makes a handy guide for finding these planets.
