I just read the following blurp from NASA about it's Rovers on  Mars:
 
>>Mars is currently passing through a debris trail of Halley's  comet, and
Spirit is attempting to observe resulting meteor showers with  the
panoramic camera at night.<<
 
>>Does anybody know what constellation these meteors would be  coming from? 
Perseids?<<
 
Whoops! I meant maybe the Orionids? The Perseids come from comet  
Swift/Tuttle.
