Little knowledge of meteor shower

From the earth, the meteor shower seems to emanate from a point in the night sky, which is located in a small sky area called the meteor shower radiation point. People usually name meteor showers after the constellations in the sky where their radiation points are located. According to experts, the mother comet of Leonid meteor shower is 55P comet Temple-Tuttle, with a return period of about 33 years. The last perihelion was 1998, when a meteor storm occurred.

The meteor shower in 2009 mainly came from the dust clouds thrown by comets of 1466 and 1533. When a comet approaches the sun, it will melt the ice in its dust particles, which are mostly larger than sand. For most comets close to the earth, they will burn in the atmosphere and form meteorites.
