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.
