Re: (meteorobs) WG-PACM Alert: Beta Cygnids Nov. 1-8
<< **Beta Cygnids Nov. 1-8**
Below is another alert to possible unusual meteor activity. Please observe
this event if possible in the hope of documenting a meteor outburst.
On November 3, 1997, the Earth will pass close to the orbit of comet
103P/Hartley 2. That orbit used to pass just within the Earth's orbit back
in the return of 1991 and now will pass just outside the Earth's orbit.
At face value, the minimum distance (+0.040 AU) will be too large to
have any reasonable....<<
Jim, This is essentially the same post that I had made last monday and of
which Joe Rao has been talking about in recent posts.
