at Seminole State College of Florida told FOX Weather. "The debris from this comet is much larger, ranging to the size of small pebble sized dust and ice which can increase the chance of seeing some very bright meteors."
Ground-based color composite image of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 fragments B and G on April 21, 2006 made with a 8" f/1.5 Schmidt Camera. But astronomers are still unsure how much of that debris will reach Earth’s atmosphere. "The particles are very hard to see, and we are not entirely sure how displaced the debris is," Demeter said. "It could be clumped together or spread out so much we only encounter a few. If the first case happens, then we have a chance of having a stud instead of a dud."
If we get the "stud" show, it will be fortuitous timing. The peak of the meteor shower will be late Monday night into the pre-dawn Tuesday morning hours. The moon will be new, so sky gazers won’t have to worry about moonlight washing out the sky.
The forecast is favorable for much of the region with crystal clear skies expected across much of California and the Desert Southwest.Demeter warns again with this meteor shower relying on a new source of material, astronomers do not have a lot of good information on which to base their predictions."Anywhere may get the best view if it happens so if it is clear, go outside and enjoy the sky," he says.
I remember when back in the 90s Schumacher-Levy happened and a lot of people committed suicide because of the bullshit media reporting. The media really has to stop reporting bullshit.
