Subject : Meteor Shower @ Mirpur Sakro near Thatta Every year in mid-to-late October, Earth passes through a stream of dusty debris from Comet Halley and the pre-dawn sky lights up with a pretty display of shooting stars. NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office said “With no Moon to spoil the show, about 25 meteors per hour shower will peak on Sunday morning, Oct 21st travelling at a speed of 148,000 mph. So here we were in Mirpur Sakro near Thatta to observe this activity. It was a fun filled trip although Meteor Shower was below expectations. Passengers were: 1. Hanif Bhatti 2. Aadil Jadoon 3. Aadil’s 10 year old son. 4. Ali Rizvi 5. Shahab Hashmi 6. Waheed Zuberi 7. Najeeb 8. Bilal Khan 9. Ali 10. Fahad Ullah 11. Babar Khan 12. Nash Trooper 13. Hash Asif 14. Agha Abbass 15.
