I know most of them will be burnt before entering the asmosphere depending on its size. Would you have pictures of meteors recovered. If you do can you share them with me. I just love things like this. Thank you[/quote] There might be some problem with the comment system, I can see your question in my notification email but not here. Yes, it's correct, at least, I think so. :) You can find the meteorite kit below at special price (assuming that you are Meade4M member) http://www.meade4m.com/4mshop/09412.html You can know more about the meteorites in the kit here, http://www.meteoritekit.com/about/index.html [quote post="225"]So this means that some meteors may end up falling on earth if they are

However, I think you shall put the Gemini (the radiation point of this meteor shower) in your main focus. The meteoroid is a rock in the debris left over by the source. The source is always a comet but there are always exceptions. When you see the meteors on the sky, they are attracted by Earth. If not, you are not able to see it without the friction between the meteoroid and Earth's atmosphere. I hope these help you. :) When you are watching the meteor shower, it’s always recommended to watch the entire sky which means none of the direction is preferred.

Where should we look? How close can a meteor go by earth without being attract by it's orbit? So this mean that on the west we will be able to see some meteors tonight?
