Halley's Comet Returns to Earth

The Eta Aquarid shower will peak on Wednesday and Thursday with impressive views expected all over the world. The pieces of space debris that interact with our atmosphere to create the Eta Aquarids originate from comet 1P/Halley (pictured). Halley's Comet returns to Earth's vicinity approximately every 75 years.

Due to rain in Boston it may not be visible on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, May 4, 5, 2016. Is this Bill Hailey's Comet? You can always rent a plane and climb above the clouds to see it.

Meanwhile, sky watchers in the northern hemisphere could see five to 10 meteors per hour over the next few mornings.
According to Nasa, the best time to see the shower between 3am and 5am your local time.
'This year the Eta Aquarids will peak during daylight hours of 5 May across the US,' the space agency said.
'Slightly higher rates are likely overnight May 4-5 than on May 5-6 but the shower's broad peak means that both nights will have meteors.
'Some Eta Aquarid meteors may be visible for a few days before and after the peak.'
Eta Aquarid meteors are known for their speed travelling at 148,000 mph (66 km/s).
Fast meteors can leave glowing ‘trains’ of incandescent debris which last for several seconds to minutes.

Perseid Meteor Showers 2015 and Non Stop Harassment

In the weeks leading up to the Perseid meteor shower in August 11-13, 2015 three primary groups continued an ongoing (45 years) harassment and provocation campaign trying to have me arrested. The present pattern was to remind everyone that "He's crazy." just in case anyone forgot. After scaring everyone else away they were able to conduct their brutal campaign without any interference. The three primary groups are the California Syndicate, the midwestern outfit, and Communist police employees from New York and Washington state. A  computer technician and her partner from China continued the behavior conditioning project trying to make me into a homosexual. That is the failed effort begun in New York in the 1970s.

For a couple of days the Kennedy cult used young women as bait. The Genovese group used Harvard University faculty as bait. Harvard University building superintendents and campus police enabled access, and covered up the ongoing criminal campaign of non stop abuses.  

Usual sleep disturbances continue without any break, every day and every night, every one or two hours. Tampering with my home computer is always present forcing me to use public computers. But now that a trained computer technician is on the job she follows me to the public computers and interferes with them also. One day an FBI employee was present and left abruptly when I posted a comment about the misguided statements promulgated by that organization to mislead voters and taxpayers.

The USPS carrier, perhaps another new one, is again tampering with my mail. He or she holds back mail and does not deliver some of it. This is an ongoing problem for over 25 years. My dozens of complaints to the postmaster have not ended that problem. Telephone tampering is another feature of these tech savvy criminals. 

During this period of nature's sky show, in response to the non stop insistence that "He's crazy." criminals entered my apartment and placed psychiatric drugs in my foods. My repeated complaints to the district attorney and to the Attorney General of Massachusetts have not ended that repeating crime either.

Almost finished reading a book about police, FBI, courts, prosecutors and Justice Department corruption. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, The Secret Life of Bill Clinton. He discusses the cover up of the Oklahoma federal building bombing, the death of Vince Foster and the drug riddled  government agencies in Arkansas. I mention it here because many of the honest dedicated policemen, policewomen, civilian informants, even one woman prosecutor, an FBI agent, and several journalists had their careers destroyed, as mine was, by corrupt officials all the way up to the highest levels of those agencies. Two teenagers were murdered. One constant presence were allegations that these good people were mentally ill. It is appalling how psychiatry is used by corrupt officials and few people are aware of it or even believe it possible. But that is what they do. 

I reveal these abuses because they prevent me from even posting new stories on this blog.  For regular readers I will resume as soon as I am able.

Spectacular Sky Show Wednesday August 12, 2015

[From article]

When the celestial show hits its peak overnight Wednesday next week, up to 100 shooting stars per hour will streak across the sky for a spectacle visible around the globe.
In a lucky development, the Moon's glow will not interfere with meteor-watching, as it will be approaching its darkest or "new" phase, experts say.
"It's going to be a spectacular show this year," astronomer Morgan Hollis of the Royal Astronomical Society told AFP. "You'll be able to a see a lot more than normal."
The mid-July to mid-August light show comes from the tail of comet Swift-Tuttle, which swings around the Solar System every 130 years or so, depositing debris in Earth's orbit as it nears the Sun.
As Earth races around the Sun, these grains smash into the atmosphere at about 60 kilometres (37 miles) per second, burning up in flashes of light.
Occasionally, longer and brighter streaks are seen, from pea- or marble-sized comet remnants.
The showers -- named after the constellation of Perseus from which they appear to fly out -- peak when Earth passes through the heart of the debris field.
[. . .]
Unlike some celestial events, one doesn't need special technology to watch the Perseids unfold. It is best to find a wide open space away from tall buildings or trees, and with as little artificial light as possible.
"The more of the sky you can see the better," said astronomer Affelia Wibisono from the Royal Observatory Greenwich. "You don't need any binoculars or telescopes. It's actually better if you use your eyes."
The only equipment she suggested was a nice comfy chair from which to watch the show, and some warm clothes.

Harvard Star Gazers Furloughed By US Government. Danger of Asteroids?

If an asteroid hits the earth, it will be one more disaster that Massachusetts Governor "Cadillac" Deval Patrick and US Senator Chuck "You" Schumer (D-NY) can blame on the Tea Party. Are they delusional or just graduates of Harvard Law School being Harvard lawyers?
