Heads up!
On May 30-31, we might have a brief-but-intense meteor display, thanks to a comet that split apart in 1995 and is apparently still fragmenting. It might happen, as Earth passes through a particularly dense stream of icy particles which the comet left behind in the years 1995, 1897 and 1892.
NASA said that the night of May 30 and the early morning of May 31 will bring a powerful tau Herculids meteor shower courtesy of the SW3 comet.
