Do you know anyone that rides a motorcycle a lot? Have you noticed if they wear a helmet or not? I know that when I am out and about I don’t think I see anyone wearing a helmet. That is there choice and all but I think it is a bad one. They should really look into Scorpion Helmets. The reason I say that is because they can help save you if you were to get into an accident. It is better to be safe then sorry. Not many people look at it that way, but I think that every one should.

When observing meteor showers today as then, you will notice they appear to originate from a hidden point in the sky, this is called a radiant. The radiant for the Eta Aquarids is near the star Eta Aquarius, and varies in inferred size by 5 to 7 degrees depending on celestial mechanics. The meteors streak across the sky from a point in space near the star; hubble space telescope tracing the paths they make will take you back to this point of origin. Most meteor showers are gravel and sand-grain sized specks that are left over from the nucleus of a comet as it passes the Sun.
