Re: (meteorobs) Two questions about Leonids 2000



Have any predictions been made for dust trails older than 10 revolutions?
Asher did not do any such predictions, but perhaps Lyytinen did it? Or
is the dispersion rate of a dust trail so big that the activity increase when
crossing an old trail would be insignificant to visual observers?
 
Btw, to Rob McNaught: do the predictions include preturbation of
parts of trails? Is it possible that we might cross the trail just in the
place where it has been preturbed away? Is there a good possibility
we may encounter a small part of a dust trail that originally didn't
cross Earth's orbit, but now does so?
 
Aaaaalright, this should keep the discussion alive. But, seriously,
these are serious questions, not an attempt to get the list going!
 
Clear skies!
