(meteorobs) Re: meteor streams from manmade impact of Temple1?

[Robert Lunsford]

Michael and All,

We will not see any activity from Temple1 due to the fact that this comet 
does not cross the Earth's orbit. Currently the perihelion distance is 
approximately 1.5 AU. This means the comet lies approximately 140 million 
miles when closest to the sun. This distance is a bit too far out to have 
any effect on the Earth.

Clear Skies!

Robert Lunsford
