(meteorobs) Next meteor shower and call for observation of comet 209P

[Mikhail Maslov]

Hello,

I can confirm all these results. It is very likely that next year some
significant outburst created by 209P particles will happen. It should
be visible primarily from the Northen America if happens at the
expected time (May 21, 2014, 7:21 UT, by my computations). More
details can be found here:

JV> Dear friends,

JV> It seems that, as already computed by E. Lyytinen and P. Jenniskens, 
JV> comet 209P will create a significant meteor shower outburst on the 24th 
JV> May 2014.

JV> As this comet is poorly unknown, we call for any observation in the 
JV> coming months / year! ;-)

JV> All the details about why we believe this shower will be important are here:

JV> IMPORTANT: I'll be away from emails for the coming 2 weeks, starting 
JV> tomorrow, but don't hesitate to send us your input regarding this matter ;-)
