Re: (meteorobs) sporadic cycles
Wayne's wonderful incendiary comments relate to another question I had re:
sporadics. Much is made of the inability to distinguish low-activity visual
meteor showers (as opposed to radio or telescopic showers) from the sporadic
background. To what extent then should the meteoroids which contribute to
sporadic rates be viewed as a composite of many small (but otherwise normal)
streams that the earth passes through, versus "non-stream" material, e.g.,
primordial (protoplanetary) dust, impact debris, or interstellar material?
And how does studying sporadic cycles contribute to answering this question?
