New tau Herculid meteor shower drops bright fireballs, but no 'meteor storm'

Bright "shooting stars" from a new meteor shower lit up the night sky in a dazzling display overnight Monday and Tuesday, even if it wasn't a "meteor storm" some stargazers hoped for.

The new meteor shower peaked around midnight Tuesday (May 31) as remnants from the shattered Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 (also known as SW 3) burned up harmlessly high in Earth's atmosphere as a part of scientists now wall the tau Herculids meteor shower.

There have also been a couple of APODs.

First: Tau Herculids Meteors over Kitt Peak Telescopes

Then: Tau Herculids from Space

Thanks Rick

Very much liked the third link with the view from space.  Gives a, perhaps, a more accurate view of where they burn up.
