The Sky is Falling

Chicken Little happily ran around telling everyone that the "sky is falling".

For the next few evenings you can look up and see for yourself if the sky really is falling!

The SpaceWeather.com site notes: "Every year in October, Earth passes through a stream of Halley's dusty debris, giving rise to the Orionid meteor shower. This year, the display is expected to peak on Oct. 21st, but some of the meteors may be arriving early.....Do early Orionids bode well for peak-night? There's one way to find out: Watch the sky during the dark hours before sunrise on Sunday, Oct. 21st. If 2007 is like 2006, observers can expect 20 to 50 Orionids per hour."
Thanks to Dan Robinson, HW Wilson Company for mentioning this on LM_NET.

You can find several versions of Chicken Little through NoveList in GALILEO . Note how you can check the public WorldCat right from NoveList to see which library owns the version you're interested in reading!
