[meteorite-list] Haley is a Girl!

Hi all, a very special email today... Thank you for reading. ;)

A Must See! - Halley's Comet Nucleus
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100104.html

Interesting factoid: "...This debris shed from Halley's nucleus 
eventually disperses into an orbiting trail responsible for the Orionids 
meteor shower..."

Though most people on this list probably know this, you'll have to 
forgive me for not knowing because I usually don't follow meteor 
showers.... ;) It's particularly meaningful to us for a very special 
reason and it added to our excitement. Why were we excited?

Recently we found out we're having a baby girl. Like most expecting 
parents we had picked out names for a girl and a boy. We chose 
astronomical names of course! ;) Jaime chose the name Haley if it 
happened to be a girl and I chose Orion if it were a boy. What we didn't 
know is that there was a connection between Halley's Comet and the Orion 
constellation. You're probably smiling to yourself right about now 
because you guys already know it is the famous meteor shower that 
radiates from that point in space in the form of the Orionids!

Now That's Cool!
