Comet Hartley 2, to which the Epoxy spacecraft is on its way, is approaching the closest point to the Earth today and there is some chance that this approach will also be accompanied by a meteor shower.
By Bows, Rotter
Tonight and tomorrow, after sunset, there is a chance to watch a meteor shower, as a result of the comet Hartley 3, which will be at the closest point to Earth.
Two meteors that passed on October 16 in the same path, one of them in Alabama and the other after 5 hours in the sky of eastern Canada, and photographed by NASA cameras, led NASA researchers to the conclusion that it was a common (parent) source, and at the same time, that it could be by an extraordinary coincidence.
Despite the low chance, they intend to watch the sky, tonight and tomorrow.
Comet Hartley 2 is being closely monitored because the Epoxy spacecraft, formerly Deep Impact, is on an approach path to it, the spacecraft is approaching at a speed of 12.5 kilometers per second and on November 4 at around 10:01 a.m. EST the spacecraft will make its closest approach to the comet - at a distance of approx. -700 kilometers. This will be the fifth time a comet will be photographed up close, especially since the same spacecraft (Deep Impact in its previous incarnation) photographed two of them with the same instrument and with the same spatial separation.

Listen people, why did you suddenly start talking about aliens when the article was about a poor meteor?
You make an elephant out of an ant
Please don't fight.
Let's agree that there are aliens and they are among us right now.
There are many in the Knesset, for example...

It's really not nice that you ignore aliens. Especially from the alien who wrote the response number 3 and 5.
I definitely noticed Michael. But when I see a 'strange' argument or one that requires a response, I respond.... And I admit - when talking about aliens I always pay attention.
And to return to our discussion about the short article, does anyone know where we can hope and watch the rain? In which direction should the observation be made?
Hanan:
You may not have noticed but the discussion here is not about aliens.
I used the language used by Amit and the same meaning he attributed to it.
Nor was I speaking for anyone else. It's quite surprising that you didn't notice this (and this while the aliens who have never been here actually did notice).
I'm glad Michael that you advised a colleague to speak for himself.
That's why I also advise you to speak for yourself, especially in the face of such an absolute and definitive statement, probably based on a deep knowledge of the past, present and future (although you did not indicate your sources for the statement): "You may not know anything about the solar system until aliens arrive (And they will not come)".
And why do you think they haven't arrived already or won't arrive?
For example, I claim exactly the opposite and at least I can back up my claims with data.
Have a nice Tuesday
As the saying goes, twice is good (and here 2 comets came together)

Amit:
Speak for yourself only.
You may not know anything about the solar system until aliens arrive (and they won't) but others already know a great deal (including the question of whether there is water on the moon).
I suggest that you stand behind your words and place values in variables "a" and "b" and point to scientists who claim "a" and scientists who claim "b"
So:
As a space hobbyist I have to admit I'm a little lost.
In the last few days it was announced that water was found in the crater created by the rocket they launched on the surface of the moon. I believe that this will be disproved and verified several times in the near and distant future.
Unfortunately, we can't understand a thing and a half about our moon, which is a voice reading distance away from us.. even a simple thing like water, there are those who will say A and quite a few who will say B!!
So please explain to me.. how am I supposed to believe the countless articles that come out every morning about planets, moons, stars and whatever, that are much further away from our moon!!
Each article slaps the previous one and the chaos celebrates..
Unfortunately I came to the necessary conclusion:
Since humans are plagued by internal interests and conflicts, until an alien race to whom these things are foreign does not take the first step, we will not know a thing and a half even about our solar system!!
I will be happy to respond
