Watching Out for Falling Stars, With a Smartphone in Hand

American stargazers could be forgiven for shaking a fist at the heavens this weekend. The Draconids meteor shower is expected to yield intense shooting-star activity, but by the time the sun sets on the United States, the action will most likely have ended.

With Google’s Sky Map app (free on Android), smartphone users can track astronomical events, like the Orionids meteor shower.

Fortunately, you can still track and watch coming meteor showers and other astronomical phenomena if you have a smartphone loaded with Meteor Shower Guide ($1 on Apple) or Meteor Shower Calendar (free on Android), and two great star-viewing apps, StarWalk ($3 on iPhone; $5 on iPad) and Google Sky Map (free on Android).
Now is a good time for stargazing, particularly with children. The night sky is more clearly visible in mid-evening than in the summer months, and for people in the Northern states, it’s not so cold that everyone will run inside after spotting Orion’s belt.
Of course, a clear sky is crucial, so a good weather app is important for planning. My favorite, MyWeather Mobile, is free on Apple and Android. It’s slower to load than my other go-to weather app, Weather+ (also free on Apple and Android), but it offers a fuller spectrum of weather information and longer forecast periods.
Oddly, none of the major weather apps include information on moon phases, which is an important detail for lawn-chair astronomers, since it’s hard to see celestial objects in a brightly lit sky.
But you can find moon phases on both of the meteor-specific apps on my list, Meteor Shower Guide and Meteor Shower Calendar. Both offer schedules of the year’s meteor showers, along with ratings and the moon’s phase on the date of the shower’s peak.
The extra cost of Meteor Shower Guide is justified in the additional information you’ll glean from it. The Draconids, for instance, “are very slow-moving meteors,” the app says. Hourly meteor rates are typically low, it added, “but on several occasions outbursts of 50 or more meteors per hour have been reported.”
For people who miss the Draconids, though, Meteor Shower Guide and Meteor Shower Calendar offer an alternative — the Northern Taurids shower, which starts on Oct. 20 and peaks on Nov. 12.
Ideally, the apps would account for the likelihood that you would see a shower in your particular region, and then identify the least moonlit nights for stargazing. But they leave that sort of legwork to you.
Likewise, you must go online if you want to identify the best available spots for stargazing in your area. ClearDarkSky.com, a Web site for astronomers, publishes state-by-state lists of public and private observation spots and an astronomer’s forecast.
To my knowledge, no app yet exists with such information. I’d give it a week.
It’s surprising that neither Google Sky Map nor StarWalk include this information in their own apps, since they feature so much else. Both have long been the standard for the general astronomy category, and for good reason. If you hold a device toward the sky and look through the viewfinder, it labels the celestial objects beyond. No more guessing about whether that dot is a planet or a star; no more mistaking the Big Dipper for the Little Dipper.
Of the many features on Sky Map, the one for meteor showers is the newest. In the “settings” section of the app, there are several so-called layers, for viewing different objects. If you want to just see planets, for instance, you can uncheck stars, constellations and other elements on the list. If you want to put yourself in the best position to view a meteor shower, though, uncheck all else and point the device skyward. When there is a shower predicted, graphics will point to the area where meteors will most likely appear. If you know the name of the meteor shower, you can also type it into the search box and the screen will show the general location.
Star Walk uses a different approach. In the Calendar section, the app lists important astrological events like solstices and meteor showers, along with more information on each item. If you tap an event in the calendar, the screen goes into a time-travel mode, in which the sky appears as it would on the date of the event, with an arrow pointing to the part of the sky where you’ll see a simulation of the event.
One of the nice aspects of this feature is that you can point the device in the direction of the event and see if it would be visible from your yard. It feels almost like cheating.
But the app would have come in handy for me this summer, when trying to help my younger children cross a big item — “see a shooting star” — from their bucket list. On the first night we tried, only one of them saw a meteor, with expected emotional results. The next night we tried again, and — miracle of miracles — we all saw a few just before the clouds rolled in.
Serendipity has its place, no doubt. But a little smartphone-aided serendipity never hurts.

7 Reasons Why Crying Is Good for You

New York Times reporter Benedict Carey referred to tears in a recent piece as “emotional perspiration.” Given that I sweat a lot and hate deodorant, I suppose it makes sense that I weep often. But I’m not going to apologize for that, because after a good cry, I always feel cleansed, like my heart and mind just rubbed each other’s backs in a warm bath.
In his intriguing article, “The Miracle of Tears” (answersingenesis.com), in which I found some of the research for this gallery, author Jerry Bergman writes: “Tears are just one of many miracles which work so well that we taken them for granted every day.”

Here, then, are seven ways tears and the phenomenon we call “crying” heal us physiologically, psychologically, and spiritually.

1. Tears Help Us See
The most basic function of tears is that they enable us to see. Literally. Tears not only lubricate our eyeballs and eyelids, they also prevent dehydration of our various mucous membranes. No lubrication, no eyesight. Writes Jerry Bergman: “Without tears, life would be drastically different for humans—in the short run enormously uncomfortable, and in the long run eyesight would be blocked out altogether.”

2. Tears Kill Bacteria
No need for Clorox wipes. We’ve got tears! Our own antibacterial and antiviral agent working for us, fighting off all the germs we pick up on community computers, shopping carts, public sinks, and all those places the nasty little guys make their homes and procreate.

Tears contain lysozyme, a fluid that the germ-a-phobe dreams about in her sleep, because it can kill 90 to 95 percent of all bacteria in just five to ten minutes! This translates, I’m guessing, to three months’ worth of colds and stomach viruses.

3. Tears Remove Toxins
Biochemist William Frey, who has been researching tears for as long as I’ve been searching for sanity, found in one study that emotional tears—those formed in distress or grief—contained more toxic byproducts than tears of irritation (think onion peeling). Are tears toxic then?

No! They actually remove toxins from our body that build up courtesy of stress. They are like a natural therapy or massage session, but they cost a lot less!

4. Crying Can Elevate Mood
Do you know what your manganese level is? Neither do I. But chances are that you will feel better if it’s lower because overexposure to manganese can cause bad stuff: anxiety, nervousness, irritability, fatigue, aggression, emotional disturbance, and the rest of the feelings that live inside my head rent-free.

The act of crying can actually lower a person’s manganese level. And just like with the toxins I mentioned in my last point, emotional tears contain 24 percent higher albumin protein concentration—responsible for transporting small (toxic) molecules--than irritation tears.

5. Crying Lowers Stress
Tears really are like perspiration, in that exercising and crying both relieve stress. In his article, Bergman explains that tears remove some of the chemicals built up in the body from stress, like the endorphins leucine-enkaphalin and prolactin. The opposite is true too. Bergman writes, “Suppressing tears increases stress levels, and contributes to diseases aggravated by stress, such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and peptic ulcers.

6. Tears Build Community
In her Science Digest article, writer Ashley Montagu argued that crying not only contributes to good health, but it also builds community. I know what you’re thinking: “Well, yeah, but not the right kind of community. I mean, I might ask the woman bawling her eyes out behind me in church what’s wrong or if I can help her, but I’m certainly not going to invite her to dinner.”

I beg to differ. As a prolific crier, I always come away astounded by the resounding support of people I know, and the level of intimacy exchanged among them. Read for yourselves some of the comments on both my self-esteem file video my death and dying video and you’ll appreciate my point. Tears help communication and foster community.

7. Tears Release Feelings
Even if you haven’t just been through something traumatic or are severely depressed, the average Joe goes through his day accumulating little conflicts and resentments. Sometimes they gather inside the limbic system of the brain and in certain corners of the heart. Crying is cathartic. It lets the devils out before they wreak all kind of havoc with the nervous and cardiovascular systems. As John Bradshaw writes in his bestseller Home Coming, “All these feelings need to be felt. We need to stomp and storm; to sob and cry; to perspire and tremble.”
