Off topic --Today 8 March 2012 space weather announced - "A coronal mass
ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on March 8th around 1100 UT."
There have been theories proposed as to how to deflect and asteroid away
from the earth. In the same vein, could solar wind or the CME  create a
significant change in the travel of small meteoroids to impact the
earth's atmosphere and be responsible for greater than average meteor
activity. Is there any research showing where past CME may may have an
effect on meteor activity?
Thanks
