Driven To Share Science "Sky watchers in North and South America are well placed for seeing a possible outburst of meteors Tuesday morning, from a mysterious stream of cometary debris, known to have crossed paths with Earth only once before, in 1930. Forecasters Peter Jenniskens (SETI Institute) and Esko Lyytinen (Helsinki, Finland) predict the return of the Gamma Delphinid meteor shower at around 0830 UT (04:30 am EDT) on June 11, 2013. The shower is expected to last no more than about 30 minutes to an hour, producing an unknown number of bright, fast meteors. A dark location will be best for observing the shower." earthsky.org/space/meteor-alert-possible-meteor-outburst-tuesday-morning?utm_source=EarthSky+News&utm_campaign=9cdf979d1a-EarthSky_News&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c643945d79-9cdf979d1a-393658069
