Black Oak highlights our higher mountains, peak viewing conditions for the Orionid shower
New moon is on Tuesday
California Black Oak (Quercus kelloggii) is also known as Kellogg Oak.
The Tawny Hues Of The Black Oak Tree's Foliage are just beginning to highlight the slopes of San Diego County’s higher mountains. Named for the dark coloring of its bark, especially when wet, the black oak is the only deciduous oak native to the county. Associating with pines, firs, cedars, various evergreen oaks, and occasionally chaparral, the black oak lends true autumn coloring to mountain ranges such as the Laguna and Palomar mountains.
The New Moon Arrives On Tuesday, October 21 and will be only 11% visible by the week’s end. The sunrise and sunset continue to get closer together until Daylight Savings Time ends on November 2. The sun rises at 6:56 am today (Oct 20) and sets at 6:09 pm. The daylength will be under 11 hours by the end of the month.
This year's shower will fall on the new moon, creating optimal viewing conditions.
The Orionid Meteor Shower, one of the year’s five best annual showers, peaks on the morning of Tuesday, October 21. The new full moon will provide ideal viewing all night long. With these conditions, you should see a meteor every few minutes, and possibly more during the most favorable hours of 4 am to 6 am. The Orionids seem to radiate from the constellation of Orion, hence their name.
