May 24 will be the peak of the
shower of the leftovers of the comet P/209 LINEAR. This meteor shower is not
going to last very long to observe, but it will be quite stunning with over 100
detections per hour. The finest sight of the meteors will be just before dawn
and will seem to be approaching from the constellation Ursa Major (also mistakenly
recognized as the “Big Dipper”).
If due to any reason you
aren’t going to be able to see the meteor shower with your own eyes, the Slooh
Space video camera will be streaming the event live, so you’ll be able to see
it no matter where you are!
