Nature'S July Fireworks
Several meteor showers are active on July 4, but a new one was just discovered that peaks on this day. The shower is in the southern hemisphere in the constellation of Fornax and called the psi-Fornacids. The figure above shows the direction of all triangulated meteors detected by the CAMS network and the Global Meteor Network this year, plotted on the celestial sphere. Each dot is a triangulated meteor. Meteor showers are shown in colors proportional to speed: red = fast, blue = slow. The new …
