The eta Aquarid meteor shower will be visible in the early morning sky on Sunday May 6. The meteors are bits of dust left behind by Halley’s Comet, which last passed this way in 1986. Viewing should be best just before dawn. This shower’s radiant point doesn’t rise over our horizons until around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. The meteors are few and far even then, but the wee hours are a time for catching earth-grazing meteors in this shower.

For more than four decades, children and caregivers have counted on Sesame Street for their ABCs, 123s, and other academic skills, such as vocabulary, math, and science. American children who frequently view Sesame Street as pre-schoolers achieve high school grade point averages that are almost 16% higher than those who don’t grow up watching the show. Not only are average grades better, but grades are also better in each of the core areas of English, math, and science.
