New meteor major shower coming to North America in May
Between May 23rd to 24th, a newly discovered comet, 209P/Linear, will be
showering its debris through Earth's atmosphere. Apparently it'll rival the Leonids and Perseids. They may named these ones the Camelopardalids (stupid name), or possibly Linearids. The comet itself is not likely to be visible, as it's small and most of its outer layers have already burned off. But its sending out meteors that are centimeter sized, making them much bigger than the typical dust grains that the other famous meteor showers give off, making them likely very spectacular and bright meteors.
