Virgin Islands This Week

Skywatch January & February 2011

Fri, 21 Jan 2011 04:31:33 -0400

In the Virgin Islands it is hard to notice much of a change from season to season; the weather is always sunny and nice. Up North people are experiencing winter. Many people think that winter is caused by the Earth being farther form the Sun. In fact, this year the Earth is closest to the Sun on January 3rd only be about 91,402,500 miles (147,098,000 km) from the Sun. Besides, while people in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing winter, people in the Southern Hemisphere are having summer. We are all on the same Earth.

Also on January 3rd is the maximum of the Quadrantid meteor shower. Meteors are flashes of light that happen so quickly that by the time you tell someone "look there", the meteor will be gone. These "shooting stars" are caused by pebble-sized bits of rock burning up as they pass through the atmosphere some 50 miles above the Earth. If you look between midnight on the 3rd and dawn on the 4th and you may see some 45 "shooting stars" per hour.
