Keep an eye on the night sky for some celestial events during the month of May.
The International Space Station rotates around the Earth at a speed of 17,500 mph. The ISS rotates about its center of mass at a rate of about 4 degrees per minute so that it will complete a full rotation once per orbit. This allows it to keep its belly towards the Earth. One revolution around the planet takes about 90 minutes .
The meteor shower occurs when the Earth passes through a dusty trail of space debris left behind by Halley's Comet. The Earth passes through dust grains from Halley’s path twice a year to create two meteor shower events – the Orionids in October and the Eta Aquariids in May. Right after sunset, look in the western sky to see two planets and the Moon. Venus will be above the western horizon next to the Moon. Venus will disappear from the evening sky by late July, reappearing in the eastern sky about a month later as a morning planet. Meanwhile, Mars will appear above the west-southwestern horizon.
