And after the Perseids, what’s next?
After spectacular 2007 Outburst, a-Aurigids shower is likely to
return to its normal level of annual activity (ZHR around 10 hr-1).
a-Aurigids peak is expected to occur August 31, at 19 UTC. Among
other minor showers, September Perseids (maximum September 9,
03 UT), daylight ?-Leonids (maximum August 25, 04 UT) and d-Aurigids
(broad maximum around september 28), are characterized by rather
low ZHR so they will unlikely be distinguishable by the sporadic
meteors background. Read more at our MS-Propagation-Page:
