   What are sporadic meteors?

   • These are sporadic meteors; their source bodies — meteoroids — are part of the dusty background of the inner solar system. Several times during the year, Earth encounters swarms of small particles that greatly enhance the number of meteors. The result is a meteor shower, during which observers may see dozens of meteors every hour.

   What asteroid has a meteor shower?

   • It’s now divided between Hercules, Boötes, and Draco. The cold nights of northern winters and typically faint meteors keep this shower from being truly popular. Until late 2003, this was the only major meteor shower whose parent body remained unknown. But that year astronomers found a near-Earth asteroid named 2003 EH1.

   What is a meteor shower?

   • These are referred to as meteor storms. The meteors that appear during a meteor shower seem to radiate from one point in the sky. This illusion is an effect of perspective, just as a roadway seems to converge in the distance. Usually, meteor showers take the name of the constellation from which the meteors appear to radiate.

   When did meteor astronomy start?

   • The science of meteor astronomy began in 1833, when a storm of 60,000 meteors an hour shocked the world. By the 1860s, it had become clear that many meteor showers were annual — including the normally placid Leonids, which produced the big storm — and that they were somehow related to comets.
