Why Sunday’s meteor shower offers a rare opportunity to see a fireball

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:46:15 GMT

(CNN) — The first branch of the Taurid meteor showers is set to peak this weekend, presenting an enticing opportunity for patient sky-gazers.Southern Taurid meteors have been blazing bright across the night sky since late September, but around the peak — expected at 8:47 p.m. ET Sunday — is when people will have the best chance to catch a glimpse, according to the American Meteor Society.While the Southern Taurids typically have a frequency of only five meteors per hour, the shower is known for being rich in fireballs, which is a term for a meteor that appears to be brighter than Venus, according to NASA. Venus is the second brightest celestial object in the night sky after the moon.“Meteors are a part of the night sky that just are out of the norm for people,” said Bill Cooke, lead of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. “You go outside, you see the stars, you see the moon, you see the planets — those are always there … but you don’t always see the meteors.

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:46:15 GMT

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Mac Jones appeared to have put his earlier struggles behind when he moved the Patriots into Washington territory with under 2 minutes to play. A game-tying field goal was in sight and the go-ahead touchdown remained a possibility, too.On second-and-8 from the Commanders 41, Jones dropped back in the pocket and threw down the middle to JuJu Smith-Schuster. The ball bounced off the receiver’s hands and into the arms of Jartavius Martin, sealing Washington’s 20-17 victory.“I feel like I’ve been saying it every week,” Patriots tight end Hunter Henry said. “We’ve had too many of those this year, and another one today.”The Patriots fell to 2-7 for the first time since Bill Belichick’s first season as their head coach and lost to the Commanders (4-5) at home for the first time since 1996. Belichick remains 17 victories short of breaking Don Shula’s all-time wins record, and now there is reason to doubt he will last long enough in New England to do ...

Led by double winner Isabela Texiera, the Revolution easily outdistanced second place Andover with 273 points to claim a third straight sectional crown.“It definitely was a team effort (Sunday),” Turner said. “With the fact that we didn’t have the chance to taper coming into the meet, we had to trust that the girls had the maturity and drive to do this. And they did.”The tone for the Revolution’s day got set right out of the block when they won the 200 free relay. Texiera won the first of her two events in the 50 free (23.61) where she blew away the field by over a body length.She later completed a sweep of the sprints in the 100 free (51.25) with an even more commanding four second margin on second place. ...
