Earth is currently passing through the dusty trail left by Halley’s Comet, sending tiny particles, most no larger than grains of sand, hurtling into our atmosphere at speeds exceeding 90,000 miles per hour (145,000 km/h).

These high-speed collisions produce the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower, one of the fastest and most impressive displays of the year. As the particles vaporize, they create brilliant, long-lasting streaks of light that can persist for several seconds or even minutes.

The shower reaches its peak tonight, May 5, into the early morning hours of May 6. Observers in the Southern Hemisphere may see up to 50 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, while those in the Northern Hemisphere can expect around 10 per hour. Even at lower rates, the meteors here tend to be exceptionally fast and bright.

This year, a nearly full Moon (about 84% illuminated) will brighten the sky and hide many fainter meteors. To improve your chances, find a dark viewing spot away from city lights and position yourself so the Moon is blocked by a building or hill.

No equipment is required. Simply face east before dawn, relax, and enjoy nature’s celestial fireworks.

Lock in, we’re Moonbound.

Artemis II astronauts are more than halfway to their destination, and preparations for lunar flyby are underway. During their trip around the far side of the Moon, they will capture imagery to share with scientists (and you, too!).

Polls are open. Let’s make this happen. Send Mr V. To Hawaii and get MRM a cool assembly. Let’s go!!! Vote often. lol

As temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of molecules decreases.

Even on vacation we are learning about Earth Science with Mr.V. Alex (LMS) and Liam (MRM) got lessons all day. I am sure they were thrilled. #MRMScience7 #Topography #Volcanoes

[Mr. V @ScienceWithV]

So proud of our Ts, TAs and especially our Ss in our 12:1:4 rooms. They are starting a “Grounds For Growth” coffee cart and will be supplying the teachers with much needed caffeine. Today I got a special gift so I can show off my Coffee at the Corner! Love this!!

Our Gallery Walk to display our Plate Tectonic Research. Individual research then collaborate with group, display combined research. #MRMScience7 #FromHypithesis2Theory

The northern lights over Norway’s fjords are absolutely stunning.

New constraints added today. Budget! What? We have a limit to what we can “buy”. Yep. Real Life Problem Solvers #MRMScience7 Earthquake Tower Engineering Challenge.

[Mr. V @ScienceWithV]

Earthquake Design Challenge began today. Learning about the Design Process and how engineers design/reinforce structures in seismically active areas. Today was an R&D day learning about our Constraints. #MRMScience7

First ever edition of #BucketBanter with Coach V. Mason did a great job considering I didn’t tell him what we were doing before I came up with this idea. But only 5 gas stations is weak!

Student dressed as Coach V!! Love it. He forget the beard.

A stunning purple amethyst flower from Uruguay. The vibrant purple of amethysts comes from iron in the quartz structure that has been altered by nearby natural radiation sources.
