METEOR SHOWER: On June 26th and 27th Earth will pass through the dusty
debris trail of comet 7P/Pons-Winnecke, triggering the annual "June
Bootid" meteor shower. Most years the June Bootids are meek: a typical
shower consists of only a few visible meteors each hour -- but not always.
In 1998 sky watchers enjoyed an intense Bootid outburst. What will happen
this year? No one knows, but meteor enthusiasts will be watching the
heavens for a possible flurry of shooting stars. Tune in to
SpaceWeather.com for observing tips and more information about the shower.
 And don't forget to try listening to the June Bootids using our online
meteor radar.

SOLAR ECLIPSE: SpaceWeather.com's growing gallery of images from last
week's solar eclipse now includes sounds as well. Listen to audio clips
that reveal the excited reactions of onlookers before and during totality.
