In ?Meteor Showers: An Annotated Catalog,? the interested observer can access detailed research on over 100 annual and periodic meteor streams in order to capitalize on these majestic spectacles. Each meteor shower entry includes details of their discovery, important observations and orbits, and gives a full picture of duration, location in the sky, and expected hourly rates. Armed with a fuller understanding, the amateur observer can better view and appreciate the shower of their choice. The original book, published in 1988, has been updated with over 25 years of research in this new and improved edition. Almost every meteor shower study is expanded, with some original minor showers being dropped while new ones are added. The book also includes breakthroughs in the study of meteor showers, such as accurate predictions of outbursts as well as comet and meteor observations from the 6th century to the 17th century that were not published in the first edition. It holds all of the information needed to inspire a new observer or provide deeper knowledge to the long-time enthusiast. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAtmospheric sciences 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aPopular Science in Astronomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q11009 606 $aAtmospheric Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAtmospheric sciences. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aPopular Science in Astronomy. 615 24$aAtmospheric Sciences. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a523.53 700 $aKronk$b Gary W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791299 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300394303321 996 $aMeteor Showers$91768657 997 $aUNINA
