A very quick answer: the origin of meteor showers come in many
cases from comets and they must to do this in the same mode in
Northern and Southern sky, I think that it's possible that Southern
sky has more meteor showers that the Northern but we not known
they then they must to be discovered at today, this it's a big job,
do the Austral observers to do it? I think especially at very short
duration meteor showers.
