(meteorobs) METEOR OUTBURST IN PROGRESS - Andromedids

[Hartwig Lüthen]

Angeblich gab es einen Ausbruch der Andromiden (Bielaiden).
Die Dinger sind seit dem 20. Jahrhundert erloschen. Wäre mal 
interessant, ob Jörg welche drauf hat.
Ich glaube zwar Bill Cooke normalerweise nix, aber man kann ja mal 
nachgucken. Ich check mal den möglichen Radianten nach.
