The highly anticipated Camelopardalids meteor shower – which some predicted could unleash hundreds of meteors per hour – instead produced a lowly 5 to 10. This result surely disappointed skywatchers, but astronomers knew the bust potential was real. Here’s what some of the various astronomy Web sites are saying about the shower, in hindsight… SpaceWeather: Although this [the 5 to 10 meteors per hour] is a far cry from predictions, it is hardly a surprise. The parent comet, 209P/LINEAR, is faint and currently produces only a small amount of dust. Most forecasters acknowledged that there might be less dust in Earth’s path than the models suggested.
