FROM THE August 2014 ISSUE

What is the chance that Earth could pass through the debris field of Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) and get a meteor shower?

Ronald Patrick, Spring City, Tennessee

Published: Monday, June 23, 2014

Earth already has passed through Comet ISON’s debris field — which occurred around January 12, 2014 — but no one detected a meteor shower. For a meteor shower to occur on Earth, two things must happen: A comet’s orbit must pass very close to Earth’s orbit, and dust released from the comet must be near the intersection of these orbits at the same time as Earth.
