APOD for 5-04-06

Post by WRT » Thu May 04, 2006 4:05 pm

According to the animated diagrammatic representation of the path of Cometary fragments Schwassmann Wachmann, their tails are represented as intersecting the earth's orbit later this year. Do we anticipate any extraordinary meteoric displays as a result, or is this an oversimplification of their real path?
