2009 Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time 2009 Fall Back will to be the on November 1st 2009.
Two years ago, Daylight Saving Time 2009 Fall Back was switched from the last Sunday of October to the first Sunday of November. For 2009 as well, that falls November 1, 2009.
Don’t forget that on November 1, you will need to set your clock back.
The next time we will be changing our clocks will be on March 14 2010 – the second Sunday in March.
Daylight Saving Time (or summertime as it is called in many countries) is a means of getting more light out of the day by moving clocks ahead by one hour during the summer. During Daylight Saving Time, the sun seems to rise one hour later in the morning, when people are usually asleep, and sets one hour later in the evening, appearing to extend the day longer.
To make it easier for the switch to remember which way the clock goes, keep in mind one of these sayings: “spring forward, fall back” or “spring ahead, fall behind.”

Orionid Meteor Shower on October 21
The Orionid Meteor Shower takes place on the morning of October 21st 2009. People might see 20 meteors per hour if skies are clear and the location is dark enough.
Don’t forget to spot the bright red star Betelgeuse, as that is about the location of the “radiant”, or where the meteors appear to start off.
According to astronomer Mark Hammergren (Nat Geographic News), “ The Orionids are so named because the meteors appear to radiate from near the constellation Orion, aka the Hunter. This easily spotted constellation “kind of looks like an hourglass with a very recognizable belt of stars”.
So what exactly is a Meteor Shower?
According to Wikipedia, “A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere at extremely high speed on parallel trajectories”
Check out a Meteor Shower that took place last year:
