In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Navel oranges bloom in the spring, but the fruit isn't ready until the winter. Start looking for them to ripen beginning in December. They may ripen at any time throughout the winter, though you can harvest the oranges all at once once you see they are ripe. By contrast, Valencia oranges take a full year to grow. They bloom in the spring and grow all through the winter well into the next summer. They will have both a bloom and the fruit in the summer, when you harvest the fruit from last year. When these citrus fruits are ripe, they turn bright orange. While not every variety turns orange all over, most of the fruit will be 1 color. Check your particular variety to see what it should look like when ripe.  For instance, Valencia oranges might still have a bit of green on them, even when they're ripe. Navel oranges, on the other hand, should be all orange. Don't worry about brown spots on the surface of the orange. They just mean your area is particularly sunny or humid. A fully ripe orange will be firm to the touch. If it has soft spots, it's likely overripe and on its way to being moldy. Also, because an orange is juiciest at its peak ripeness, it will feel heavy in your hand when it's ripe. A ripe orange will come off the branch when you give it a light pull and twist. If it's not ripe, it will be much harder to pull off. Leave it on the tree a bit longer if you can't get it to come off easily. If you're still not sure if your fruit is ripe, try cutting one open. Taste it to see if it tastes sweet, like a ripe orange, or bitter, like an unripe orange. While some fruits continue to ripen after you harvest them, oranges do not. Make sure to leave them on the tree until you are sure they are ripe. If the oranges have gone soft or are starting to grow mold, they are overripe.
Summary: Harvest in the winter for navel oranges. Watch for a bright orange color. Check for a firm, smooth fruit that's heavy for its size. Pull and twist on the orange to see if it will come off easily. Perform a taste test on a sample piece of fruit. Let the fruit ripen on the tree.

Different airlines can offer widely variant prices for similar flights, so be sure you shop around if you’re planning to fly. Remember that booking a flight and hotel together may save you money if the website offers specials or discounts. These websites often compare flight prices from different websites for you, all in one place. While flying is the quickest way to travel long distances, other options such as taking a train or bus or even renting a recreational vehicle may be less expensive and more environmentally friendly.  They may also be more fun, particularly if traveling with children. Reaching your destination is only one transportation consideration.  Once you have arrived in the area, you will need to figure out how to get from the airport, train station, or bus station to your hotel.  You may also have plans to travel locally while on vacation.  Call the concierge at the hotel you’re staying at and ask whether the hotel offers complimentary or reduced-fee shuttle service to and from the airport.  If they don’t, ask for any advice on local ground transportation. Rent a vehicle if you will need to get around a lot once you have reached your destination.  If you’ll be doing a lot of sight-seeing in areas that are spread out, a rental car will be a better option than taxi services.  Be sure you know your hotel’s parking policies and fees. If you don’t plan to leave your destination once you get there (for example, if you’re staying at an all-inclusive resort), you may not need a rental car.  Consider a taxi or shuttle from the airport instead. If you are going to an urban area, search online for the city’s public transportation options.  Areas with subways, trains, or bus systems often offer daily or weekly passes that are much cheaper than rental car fees. If you’re planning to drive to your vacation spot, be sure your car is up-to-date on basic maintenance.  Check the air pressure in the tires. Change the oil if it has been 3 months or 3,000 miles since the last change. Be sure that all essential functions are in good working order: check wiper blades, headlights and taillights, brake pads, hoses, and belts. Be sure you have a spare tire and working jack.

Q: Shooting stars are not, in fact, stars at all. They are meteors, which are made up of pieces of interplanetary rocks or debris. When they break into earth’s surface, they light up the night sky. Find a calendar of the next meteor shower and drive out to a dark, secluded place. Though it’s possible to see a shooting star on any given night, you’re likely to see more during a meteor shower. Check out http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide for listings of this year’s meteor showers. In order to wish on a star, you have to be able to see the stars. Because of light pollution, it’s nearly impossible to see stars in cities or even large towns or suburbs at night. Take a ride out to one of your favorite scenic spots, such as a mountain, field, or lake outside of the city. It’ll be easier to see the stars out in nature. Once you’ve gotten out into nature, choose an area that seems dark and comfortable and set up camp. Lie on your back or sit so that the stars and night sky are filling your field of vision. Pack as if you’re going on a picnic. Bring a camping chair, layers of clothes, water, and plenty of snacks.
A: Look up the next date of a meteor shower. Get out of the city. Choose an observation spot.
