Most meteor showers occur when the Earth through the debris left behind the comet. Geminid meteor shower, but the source of debris from 3200 Phaethon, "Comets Rock".
Meteora never seen before will look at the same time. This shower debris from the comet Wirtanen can produce up to 30 meteors per hour, according to NASA.The best way to watch a meteor shower is going on stage at the city lights. Viewers should lie on the floor and look straight up as much as you can see from the sky.
