One of these events named for St. Cyril was unique because it had no radiant, while the two best known ones were caused by objects called Tempel-Tuttle and Swift- Tuttle.
In 1946, Bernard Lovell used one of the first radio telescopes to determine the size of one of these events, whose most atypical example is linked to the break up of 3200 Phaethon. One of these events named for St. Cyril was unique because it had no radiant, while the two best known ones were caused by objects called Tempel-Tuttle and Swift- Tuttle. The magnitude of these events can be assessed in terms of zenithal hourly rate, and many of these events pro- duce clouds of ionized silicon and magnesium in the upper atmosphere. Caused by the Earth passing through the de- bris stream of a comet, and including the Leonid in November and Perseid in August, identify these events in which many rocks enter the atmosphere at the same time, creating numerous bright streaks across the night sky.
