It seems that the earth is passing through a duct trail of comet Kiess which means that we will be showered by the Aurigid meteor shower, the spectacle will last for about two hours and will be peak at about 4:30 a.m. Pacific daylight on the 1st September. Residents of western United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Mexico will have the best view of the Aurigid Meteor Shower.
It is thought that the earth about 200 shooting stars which are actually Meteor’s burning up in our earth’s atmosphere. Comet Kiess only orbits the sun every 2,000 years so us seeing the Aurigids castoffs is something that should be treasured. So many people are making a big thing about this meteor shower, so we do hope that it will be able to live up to these expectations.
