This is confirmed by Mikaya Sato and Jun-ichi Watanabe of Japan's  National
Astronomical Observatory in a paper released by the Astronomical  Society of
Japan, also in April. In addition to verifying the 1:6 resonance  with
Jupiter as the cause, with their modeling they showed that the particles  we
ran into last year were ejected from Halley's comet almost 3000 years  ago.

Many thanks for passing this info along!  I'm working on my October  19
SPACE.com column about the Orionids and this info will certainly 
heighten the interest in this upcoming event!
