New Meteor Shower Discovered from Sun-Baked Asteroid
A new meteor shower has been discovered, originating from an asteroid that is being broken down by the Sun. This finding was made by scientists who study meteors using camera observations from networks in Canada, Japan, California, and Europe. The shower consists of 282 meteors, indicating that the asteroid got too close to the Sun, causing its surface to crack and release dust and gases. This process is similar to the activity seen in comets, which release dust as they pass by the Sun. The discovery highlights the dynamic nature of asteroids and their potential to shed material, contributing to meteor showers observed on Earth.
