Meteor Showers (408 words)
	Meteor Showers occur due to the Earth passing through or near the path of a comet.
	Because all meteors within a shower are falling toward Earth in parallel paths, to the observer this creates the illusion that they are all originating from one spot in the sky (similar to the way two railroad tracks seem to come together at the horizon).
	The constellation that a given meteor shower's radiant is in, is the constellation that the shower is named after.

NAMN Guide: Appendix A - List of Meteor Showers (4078 words)
	Meteors from this stream tend to be swift and faint.
	The average meteor from this shower is faint and therefore difficult to photograph.
