Quoted from the link:=20
Halley=E2=80=99s Comet is the source of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower. Eve=
ry year, our planet Earth crosses the orbital path of Halley=E2=80=99s Come=
t in late April and May, so bits and pieces from this comet light up the ni=
ghttime as Eta Aquariid meteors. This shower is said to be active from Apri=
l 19 to May 20, although Earth plows most deeply into this stream of comet =
debris around May 5 or 6.

You got it. And the N is for the University from which my son's GF got her doctorate and the
reason we traveled here from Western NY.
Next week SWMBO and I will be heading to Portland, OR for some hiking and sightseeing.
It's nice to get away every now and then.

That's a vector direction, not a position.
