Weak Impact - the 1998 Perseid Meteor Shower
http://science.nasadot gov/newhome/headlines/ast05aug98_1.htm
On July 27th the Earth, on its year-long trip around the Sun, entered
the debris stream from periodic comet Swift-Tuttle. The result is the
annual meteor shower called "The Perseids," expected to peak on August
12th. While nowhere near as devastating as the popular movies of
this summer, the Perseids often provide an equally spectacular show.
Learn more about how to view the Perseids from your backyard, the
hazards of meteor impacts, and radio meteors.
