Soon it’s time again: the earth crosses the track of the comet Swift Tuttle on her way around the sun. The comet has lost here, in sundeck, a lot of breakage. And if they feel in the earth’s atmosphere, we see shooting stars. This year should be expected with particularly many shooting stars, as the earth happens this time exactly a trumber field, which the comet has lost 4479 in 1479.
Startless steels, which arise from such a trumberfield on the ground train, seem to have their origins in the sky in a single point for the observer on earth. This is a similar effect than when you drive in winter by car through snowflakes. The earth is in the days when the comet run is queried, just in the direction of the constellation Perseus on the way. Therefore, it looks like the star tracks had their origin in this constellation. Therefore, your name comes: "Perseid".
