METEOR SHOWERS AND THEIR PARENT COMETS
DR. PETER JENNISKENS
THE SETI INSTITUTE, CALIFORNIA

Meteor Showers and their Parent Comets is a unique handbook for
astronomers interested in observing meteor storms and outbursts.
Spectacular displays of 'shooting stars' are created when the Earth's
orbit crosses a meteoroid stream, as each meteoroid causes a bright
light when it enters our atmosphere at high speed. Jenniskens, an
active meteor storm chaser, explains how meteoroid streams originate
from the decay of meteoroids, comets and asteroids, and how
they cause meteor showers on Earth. He includes the findings of
recent space missions to comets and asteroids, the risk of meteor
impacts on Earth, and how meteor showers may have seeded the
Earth with ingredients that made life possible. All known meteor
showers are identified, accompanied by fascinating details on the
most important showers and their parent comets. The book predicts
when exceptional meteor showers will occur over the next 50 years,
making it a valuable resource for both amateur and professional
astronomers.
